90 Place Vendôme Silk Scarf
The Vendôme column in a laurel wreath, framed by the arcaded facades of the square, its lanterns and its escutcheons, engraved in taupe and gold on cream. The border of ribbons and scrollwork closes a square of Parisian architecture, drawn like a period engraving.
The 90 x 90 is the signature format of the silk scarf: as a triangle on the shoulders, folded as a band around the neck, as a turban, as a belt or tied to a bag. Its surface allows for all types of knots, from the most generous to the most tight, and it is the one that shows the entire design once draped.
The Wearing Experience
- The taupe and gold tonal coloring is the most understated in the range: a daytime scarf that goes with all neutral colors.
- The central column is worn at the back, as a triangle: the monument appears between the shoulders.
- As a triangle on the shoulders, the center of the design falls in the middle of the back and the borders frame the neckline.
- Folded as a narrow band, it makes three turns around the neck or a complete turban.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Place Vendôme scarf is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight weave with subtle diagonal 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 by needle, never machine overstitched.
The 90 cm is the historic format of the house: it is that of our twenty-six scarves printed in Italy, and the one on which silk twill gives the best drape, neither too heavy for the neck nor too light for the shoulders. 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 beige coat, as a triangle on the shoulders, column at the back.
- With a black suit, tied as a shirt collar.
- On a gray sweater, folded as a wide band in the hair.
This format is found throughout our collection of 90x90 silk scarves, the historic format of the house. All formats are brought together in the Misciano silk scarves collection. To go further: wearing a silk scarf: 8 styles.
Caring for Your Piece
A 90 is washed flat in a basin, without wringing it; it dries flat on a towel, edges pulled taut, and barely needs ironing. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; flat drying away from sunlight, ironing on the reverse side at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk scarf.
