Large silk square 110 Grande porcelaine
On a deep blue background, a large porcelain plate decorated with a garden and pagoda design, surrounded by floral friezes and white lattice on blue. The monumental version of the Canton design, scaled to a shawl.
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. It's the format that covers, the one you take over a summer or formal dress.
The Wearing Experience
- The deep blue background makes the 110 an evening stole: draped, the central plate appears on the back like a medallion.
- Blue and white coordinate with white, navy and denim: a large square for summer and winter alike.
- 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 on the back, like a tapestry piece.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Grande porcelaine square is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal that our 90 squares have, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to wrinkling. The printing is done in high definition, which restores the engraved line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn by needle, never serged by machine.
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 shows 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.
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.

Care for Your Piece
A 110 requires a large basin and drying flat on two towels; never hang it wet, the weight of the water would distort the rolled edge. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; dry flat away from the sun, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk square.
