Silk Twilly Pivoines d'encre
Large peonies in navy ink and their fine-lined leaves bloom along the cream ribbon, between two navy filets. Derived from the Pivoines d'encre scarf, this twilly retains its botanical design.
The twilly is a silk ribbon folded lengthwise, with tapered ends: it wraps around a bag handle, ties at the neck as a thin 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 cream: the twilly for the office and the weekend, one that goes with denim as well as with a tailored suit.
- The peonies, wider than the folded ribbon, overflow onto both sides: the twilly is beautiful on both sides.
- Wrapped in a spiral around 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 thin tie under a collar: two wraps are enough.
Know-How & Material
The Pivoines d'encre twilly is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill, 100% silk, 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 engraved line 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 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.
- At the neck, over a white shirt, tied as a thin tie.
- At the wrist, over a navy sweater, two tight wraps.
This ribbon is found throughout the collection of silk twillies, derived from our scarf designs. 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 is washed flat in a few minutes, dried 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 sunlight, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk scarf.
