Large 110 silk scarf Royal Menagerie
A crowned coat of arms within a laurel wreath, surrounded by greyhounds, panthers, herons and seahorses caught in gold scrollwork. The black border with gilded oak leaves closes a large castle menagerie scarf.
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 out. It's the format that covers, the one you take over a summer or ceremonial dress.
The Wearing Experience
- Black, gold and cream: the evening stole that replaces jewelry on a black dress.
- The central coat of arms falls at the back once the scarf is draped as a shawl; the animals are found at the points.
- Folded in a triangle, it covers the shoulders and upper arms: a silk stole that weighs nothing.
- Draped open, the center of the design appears whole at the back, like a tapestry piece.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Royal Menagerie scarf is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight diagonal weave as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. 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 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 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 long black dress, draped as a shawl on the arms.
- With a camel coat, tied as a stole in front.
- Over a cream sweater and black pants, as a large triangle.
This format is found throughout the collection of large 110x110 silk scarves, to be worn as a stole. All formats are brought together in the Misciano silk scarves collection. To learn more: choose the silk scarf size that's just right.
Care of 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 at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk scarf.
