Silk Scarf 70 Fans of the Opera
Black, gold, and cream fans interlock in concentric circles around a central sun, in an Art Deco geometry in the style of Ruhlmann. The black and gold stepped border echoes the staircase motif of the Palais Garnier's grilles.
The 70 x 70 is the neck format: folded into a triangle, it ties in front or on the side without falling too low, and folded as a band it wraps twice. It can also be worn on the head, tied under the chin or at the nape, and as a thin belt over a dress.
The Wearing Experience
- Black and gold: the ultimate evening scarf, dressing up a black dress with a single gesture.
- The concentric geometry stays crisp when folded as a band: the fans become rhythmic stripes.
- Folded into a triangle and tied in front, the point falls mid-chest: the right proportion for a coat collar or blazer.
- As a band, it wraps twice around the neck with a flat knot: the silk holds without a pin.
Know-How & Material
The Fans of the Opera scarf is printed in Italy on natural silk twill, 100% silk, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The print is done in high definition, which captures the engraving lines of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn with a needle, never overlocked by machine.
The 70 cm is the intermediate format of silk houses: large enough for a shoulder drape in summer, short enough to stay neat at the neck in winter. It is cut from the same twill as the 90s, 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 scarf, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- Over a little black cocktail dress, tied high at the neck, like a plastron.
- With a feminine tuxedo, folded as a pocket square in the breast pocket.
- Over a cream sweater and black trousers, as a headband in the hair.
This format is found throughout the 70x70 silk scarf collection, the neck format. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk scarf collection. To go further: tying a silk scarf around the neck.
Caring 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, mild 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 hand washing a silk scarf.
