Large silk square 110 Great snow leopard
A snow leopard lying under a crescent moon, its spotted tail unfurling in ribbons of fur across the entire cream square. The grey border echoes the spots in a frieze: the monumental version of the 70 square, designed to be draped.
The 110 x 110 is worn as a stole or shawl: draped open on the shoulders, folded into a triangle and tied at the front, or slipped over the arms for an evening out. It's the size that covers, the one you take with you over a summer or formal dress.
The Wearing Experience
- As a shawl, the fur ribbons wrap around the shoulders and the leopard appears at the back.
- Grey, cream and flakes: a large winter square to wear over a black coat or white sweater.
- Folded into a triangle, it covers the shoulders and upper arms: a silk stole that weighs nothing.
- Draped open, the center of the design appears complete at the back, like a piece of tapestry.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Great snow leopard square is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight weave with subtle diagonal that our 90 squares have, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The printing is done in high definition, which restores the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and stitched by needle, never machine-serged.
The 110 cm is cut from the same twill as the 90, which makes it much lighter than a woven stole: it folds into a bag and unfolds on the shoulders. The designs in this format are composed around a large central medallion, the one that is visible once the square is draped. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk square, twill or satin.
Style Tips
- Over a black coat, draped as a stole, leopard at the back.
- With a white sweater and grey trousers, in a large triangle at the front.
- Over a black evening dress, as a shawl slipped over the arms.
This format is found throughout the collection of large silk squares 110x110, to be worn as a stole. All formats are brought together in the Misciano silk squares collection. To go further: choose the silk square size that's just right.
Care for Your Piece
A 110 requires a large basin and flat drying on two towels; never hang it wet, the weight of water would deform the rolled edge. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; dry flat away from sunlight, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk square.
