Small 50 silk square Dots and pearls
A regular scattering of navy dots, where a pearlescent pearl replaces one dot every two rows, framed by a row of threaded pearls. The classic dot, revisited by jewelry design: from a distance a polka dot square, up close a drawn necklace.
The 50 x 50 is the format for quick gestures: folded into a four-finger headband, it ties around the neck as a short cravat, on the head as a bandana, around the wrist or on a bag handle. It never creates bulk, which makes it easier to wear than a 90 under a coat collar.
The Wearing Experience
- Navy dots on cream is the most timeless scarf pattern: this one adds pearls, and therefore light.
- Regular scattering: no centering to respect, the knot always falls perfectly.
- Folded as a headband, it stays in the hair all day without slipping, the silk gripping itself at the knot.
- Around the neck, it slides under a shirt or sweater collar without bulk: it's the format you keep under your coat.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Dots and pearls square is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight weave with subtle diagonal that our 90 squares have, 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 with a needle, never machine-serged.
At 50 cm, the square is cut from the same twill as the 90s: same density, same hand. The difference is in proportion: the border takes up a larger part of the design, and it's what shows once the square is folded into a headband. Designs at this size are therefore composed border first. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk square, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- On a navy suit, tied as a shirt collar, for the office.
- With a striped shirt and white jeans, as a tight bandana.
- Around the wrist, over a pearl bracelet, to double the pattern.
