70 Silk Square Dreamweave Canvas
A Toile de Jouy in shades of blue on cream: garden pavilions, couples strolling, birds and leaf garlands echo each other in symmetry. The border of blue ribbons and flowers draws from the vocabulary of 18th-century printed cottons.
The 70 x 70 is the neck format: folded into a triangle, it ties in front or to the side without falling too low, and folded as a band it makes two loops around the neck. It can also be worn on the head, tied under the chin or at the nape, and as a fine belt over a dress.
The Wearing Experience
- The blue shades are soft: worn at the neck, the canvas reads like a shirt motif.
- The scenes repeat in symmetry: whatever the fold, you keep a pavilion or a couple on the visible panel.
- Folded into a triangle and tied in front, the point falls to the middle of the chest: this is the right proportion for a coat collar or a blazer.
- As a band, it makes two loops around the neck with a flat knot: the silk holds without a pin.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Dreamweave Canvas square is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight weave with discrete diagonal characteristic of our 90 squares, recognizable by its dense hand and its 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 by needle, never overcast by machine.
The 70 cm is the intermediate format of silk houses: large enough for a knot on the shoulders in summer, short enough to stay neat at the neck in winter. It is cut from the same twill as the 90, with the same hand-rolled edge: only the surface changes, not the material. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk square, twill or satin.
Style Tips
- Over a white shirt and jeans, tied as a loose cravat.
- With a sky blue dress, as a bandana in the hair.
- Over a navy sweater, folded into a triangle on the shoulders for summer.
This format is found throughout the collection of 70x70 silk squares, the neck format. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk squares collection. To learn more: how to tie a silk square around the neck.
Care for Your Piece
This format is washed flat like a 90; the hand-rolled edge reshapes during drying, by gently pulling the edges flat. Cold water, gentle soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; dry flat away from sunlight, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in how to hand wash a silk square.
