Small silk square 50 Lettres d'amour
Envelopes sealed with red wax, handwritten sheets, and powder pink ribbons tied in bows compose a lover's correspondence desk. The border unrolls a continuous ribbon, like the one that would tie the bundle.
The 50 x 50 is the format of the quick gesture: folded into a four-finger band, it ties around the neck as a short tie, on the head as a bandana, around the wrist, or on a bag handle. It never adds bulk, making it easier to wear than a 90 under a coat collar.
The Wearing Experience
- The powder pink and the red of the seals soften a dark outfit without over-feminizing it.
- The drawn ribbons echo the real knot: tied at the neck, the scarf seems to be part of the pattern.
- Folded as a band, it stays in your hair all day without slipping, as the silk grips itself at the knot.
- At the neck, it slips under a shirt or sweater collar without bulk: it's the format you keep under your coat.
Know-How & Material
The Lettres d'amour scarf is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill, 100% silk, the same tightly woven fabric with a subtle diagonal weave as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The printing 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 machine-overlocked.
In 50 cm, the scarf is cut from the same twill as the 90s: same density, same hand. The difference is one of proportion: the border occupies a larger part of the design, and it is what shows once the scarf is folded as a band. Designs in this size are therefore composed border first. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in carré de soie, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- On a beige trench and jeans, tied in a loose tie.
- With a black dress, as a tight bandana on the head for a sixties look.
- As a Valentine's Day or birthday gift: the subject speaks for itself.
This format is found throughout the small silk scarves 50x50 collection, designed for the neck, hair, and bag. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk scarf collection. To go further: wearing a silk scarf in your hair all day.
Caring for Your Piece
The small format is washed flat in a few minutes and dries quickly; it is the scarf you care for most often, because it touches hair and skin. 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.
