Small silk square 50 Rosace de fil
A vast lace rosette, drawn tone-on-tone in beige on cream, occupies the entire square like an enlarged Calais lace doily. Each thread petal is traced one by one; the scalloped border echoes the edge of a bobbin lace.
The 50 x 50 is the format for quick gestures: folded into a four-finger headband, it ties at 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.
Wearing Experience
- Tone-on-tone, the square reads as a texture rather than a print: it's a silk lace collar.
- The light beige softens shirt collars and suits wedding outfits.
- Folded as a headband, it stays in your hair all day without slipping, the silk gripping itself at the knot.
- At the neck, it slides under a shirt or sweater collar without bulk: it's the format you keep under your coat.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Rosace de fil square is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill 100% silk, the same tight diagonal weave as our 90 squares, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The printing is done in high definition, restoring the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn by needle, never machine-stitched.
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 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 square, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- On a white shirt, tied as a flat collar: lace effect without lace.
- With a beige ceremony dress, as a headband in a chignon.
- On a black sweater, folded in a triangle: the rosette appears as a cameo.
This format is found throughout the collection of small 50x50 silk squares, designed for the neck, hair and bag. All formats are brought together in the Misciano silk squares collection. To go further: wearing a silk square in your hair all day without it slipping.
Caring for Your Piece
The small format washes flat in a few minutes and dries quickly; it's the square you maintain most often, because it touches your hair and skin. Cold water, mild soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; flat drying away from sunlight, ironing on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk square.
