Small silk scarf 50 Love Letters
Red wax-sealed envelopes, handwritten letter pages and powder pink ribbons tied in loops make up a love letter writer's desk. The border unfolds a continuous ribbon, like the one that would close the bundle.
The 50 x 50 is the format for quick gestures: 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 creates bulk, making it easier to wear than a 90 under a coat collar.
The Wearing Experience
- The powder pink and red of the seals soften a dark outfit without making it overly feminine.
- The drawn ribbons respond to the real knot: tied at the neck, the scarf seems to be part of the pattern.
- Folded as a headband, it stays in place all day without slipping, the silk catching on 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.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Love Letters scarf is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal as our 90 scarves, recognizable by its dense feel and resistance to creasing. The printing is done in high definition, which restores the engraved line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn by needle, never machine-overcast.
At 50 cm, the scarf is cut from the same twill as the 90s: same density, same feel. The difference is in proportion: the border takes up a larger part of the design, and it's what shows once the scarf is folded as a headband. Designs of this size are therefore composed border first. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk scarf, twill or satin.
Style Tips
- Over a beige trench and jeans, tied as a loose tie.
- With a black dress, tied as a tight bandana on the head for a sixties look.
- As a Valentine's Day or birthday gift: the subject speaks for itself.

Care for Your Piece
The small format washes flat in just a few minutes and dries quickly; it's the scarf you maintain most often, because it touches your hair and skin. Cold water, gentle 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.
