Rose des vents silk twilly
A row of navy and gold compass roses, linked by scrolls, punctuates the cream ribbon between two navy lines. Derived from the Rose des vents scarf, this twilly retains its old-map vocabulary.
The twilly is a silk ribbon folded lengthwise, with tapered ends: it wraps around a bag handle, ties at the neck as a fine tie, at the wrist as a bracelet, or in the hair on a ponytail. It is the lightest and easiest silk accessory to wear in the range.
The Wearing Experience
- Navy and gold: the twilly that dresses a navy or camel bag with the sobriety of a compass.
- The compass roses in a line read like medallions at the wrist.
- Wrapped in a spiral on a bag handle, it stays without slipping: the silk clings to itself and the flat knot finishes the spiral.
- At the neck, it ties in a small knot on the side or as a fine tie under a collar: two wraps are enough.
Know-How & Material
The Rose des vents twilly is printed in Italy on a 100% silk 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 print 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 twilly is printed on a 12 cm twill band, then folded in half lengthwise and rolled on its edges: the finished ribbon is 6 cm wide and 90 cm long, with both ends cut on the bias. The design is composed for the visible half once folded, and reads on both sides. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk scarf, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- On a camel bag handle, wrapped in a spiral and tied.
- At the neck, over a pea coat, in a small knot on the side.
- At the wrist, over a cream sweater, two wraps and a loop.
This ribbon is found throughout the collection of silk twillies, derived from the designs of our scarves. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk scarf collection. To go further: the art of the scarf to elevate an outfit.
Caring for Your Piece
The twilly washes flat in a few minutes, dries flat by pulling the ends, and barely needs ironing: it is the simplest silk piece to maintain. 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 scarf.
