Large silk square 110 Porcelain coral
A large coral and gold porcelain dish, phoenix, peonies and butterflies, surrounded by lattice and coral floral friezes on white. The warm version of the porcelain design, at shawl scale.
The 110 x 110 is worn as a stole or shawl: draped open on the shoulders, folded in a triangle and tied in front, or slipped over the arms for an evening. It's the format that covers, the one you take over a summer or ceremony dress.
The Wearing Experience
- Coral on white is the color of summer: draped over a white dress, the square is a complete piece.
- The central dish is worn at the back; the coral friezes are found at the points of the stole.
- Folded in a triangle, it covers the shoulders and top of the arms: a silk stole that weighs nothing.
- Draped open, the center of the design appears whole at the back, like a tapestry piece.
Know-how & Material
The Porcelain coral square is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight weave with discreet diagonal that our 90 squares, 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 sewn with a 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 appears 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 Advice
- Over a white dress, draped as a shawl, flat at the back.
- With white pants and a cream top, as a stole tied on one shoulder.
- Over a navy sweater, in a large triangle in front: coral wakes up the blue.
This format is found throughout the collection of large 110x110 silk squares, to wear as a stole. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk squares collection. To go further: choosing the right silk square size.
Care for Your Piece
A 110 requires a large basin and flat drying on two towels; never hang it wet, the weight of the water would deform the rolled edge. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; flat drying away from sunlight, ironing on the reverse side at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk square.
