Large silk scarf 110 Grande porcelaine
On a deep blue background, a large porcelain platter decorated with a garden and pagoda motif, surrounded by floral friezes and white trellises on blue. The monumental version of the Canton pattern, on the scale of a shawl.
The 110 x 110 is worn like a stole or shawl: draped open over the shoulders, folded into a triangle and tied in front, or slipped over the arms for an evening out. It is the format that covers, the one you take over a summer or ceremonial dress.
The Wearing Experience
- The deep blue background makes the 110 an evening stole: when draped, the central platter appears on the back like a medallion.
- Blue and white pair with white, navy, and denim: a large scarf for summer as well as winter.
- 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 Grande porcelaine scarf is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill, 100% silk, the same tightly woven fabric 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 of 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 white dress, draped as a shawl, flat on the back.
- With a navy coat, as a stole tied on the side.
- Over a cream sweater and jeans, as a large triangle on the shoulders.
This format is found throughout the collection of large silk scarves 110x110, 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.
