Silk Twilly Wax Seals
On the red ribbon, a cream central band features a row of red wax seals stamped with coats of arms, like the seals of a court letter. Derived from the Wax Seals square, this twilly retains its deep red and cream.
The twilly is a silk ribbon folded lengthwise, with tapered points: it wraps around a bag handle, ties around the neck as a fine necktie, around the wrist as a bracelet or in the hair on a ponytail. It is the lightest and easiest-to-wear silk accessory in the range.
Wearing Experience
- Tied to a black or camel bag handle, the red of the seals stands out at first glance.
- Wrapped around the wrist, the row of seals wraps around the arm like a bracelet.
- Wrapped in a spiral on a bag handle, it stays in place without slipping: the silk grips itself and the flat knot finishes the spiral.
- Around the neck, it ties in a small knot on the side or as a fine necktie under a collar: two loops are enough.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Wax Seals twilly is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill weave, the same tight weave with discrete diagonal as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The printing 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 by needle, never machine-overcast.
The twilly is printed on a band of twill 12 cm wide, then folded in two lengthwise and hand-rolled on its edges: the finished ribbon is 6 cm wide and 90 cm long, with the two points cut on the bias. The design is composed for half visible 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 black bag handle, wrapped in a spiral and tied in a loop.
- Around the neck, tied in a small flat knot over a white shirt.
- In the hair, on a low ponytail, points loose.
This ribbon is found throughout the collection of silk twillys, derived from the designs of our scarves. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk scarves collection. To go further: the art of the scarf to enhance an outfit.
Care for Your Piece
The twilly is washed flat in a few minutes, dries flat by pulling the points, and barely needs ironing: it is the easiest 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.
