Large 110 silk scarf Cathedral of Roses
A cathedral rose window composed of roses and foliage, petal after petal, within a network of Gothic tracery, on a cream background. The powder pink border with a rose garland completes a large cloister garden square.
The 110 x 110 is worn like a stole or shawl: draped open over the shoulders, folded into a triangle and tied at the front, or slipped over the arms for an evening. It is the format that covers, the one you take over a summer or formal dress.
The Wearing Experience
- In 110, the rose window drapes as a shawl over the shoulders: the roses cascade down the back.
- Powder pink, green, and cream: a ceremonial scarf that softens both black and beige.
- 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 whole on the back, like a piece of tapestry.
Know-How & Material
The Cathedral of Roses scarf is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The printing is done in high definition, which reproduces the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn with a needle, never machine-overlocked.
The 110 cm is cut from the same twill as the 90s, making it much lighter than a woven stole: it folds into a bag and unfolds over the shoulders. The designs in this format are composed around a large central medallion, the one that is seen once the scarf is draped. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk scarf, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- Over a little black cocktail dress, draped as a shawl over the arms.
- With a cream coat, as a stole tied on the side.
- Over a green or beige guest dress, as a large triangle over the shoulders.
This format is found throughout the collection of large 110x110 silk scarves, to be worn as a stole. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk scarf collection. To go further: choosing the silk scarf size that fits just right.
Caring for Your Piece
A 110 requires a large basin and flat drying on two towels; never hang it wet, as the weight of the 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 scarf.
