Large silk scarf 110 Royal Menagerie
A crowned coat of arms in a laurel wreath, surrounded by greyhounds, panthers, herons and seahorses caught in golden scrolls. The black border with gilded oak leaves closes a large castle menagerie scarf.
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. It is 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 tips.
- 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 at the back, like a piece of tapestry.
Know-How & Material
The Royal Menagerie scarf is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with a discreet diagonal as our 90 scarves, 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 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 long black dress, draped as a shawl over the arms.
- With a camel coat, as a stole tied 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 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, the weight of the water would deform the rolled edge. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; flat drying away from sunlight, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk scarf.
