Silk Twilly Wax Seals
On the red ribbon, a central cream band carries a row of red wax seals stamped with coats of arms, like the seals of a court letter. Derived from the Wax Seals scarf, this twilly retains its deep red and cream.
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
- Tied to the handle of a black or camel bag, the red of the seals stands out at first glance.
- Wrapped around the wrist, the row of seals circles the arm like a bracelet.
- Wrapped in a spiral on 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 Wax Seals twilly is printed in Italy on a 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 reproduces the engraving 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 the two 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 the handle of a black bag, wrapped in a spiral and tied in a loop.
- At the neck, tied in a small flat knot on a white shirt.
- In the hair, on a low ponytail, ends loose.
This ribbon is found throughout the collection of silk twillies, derived from the designs of our scarves. 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.
