Small silk square 50 Rubans de soie
Wide powder pink and taupe ribbons cross and tie into loops on the cream field, until they themselves form the border of the scarf. The engraving line shades each fold of the ribbon: a silk design that represents silk.
The 50 x 50 format is the one 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 adds bulk, making it easier to wear than a 90 under a coat collar.
The Wearing Experience
- The drawn knots dialogue with the real knot: it is the most "accessory" scarf of the series.
- The powder pink and taupe soften the gray, navy, and black of winter coats.
- Folded as a band, it stays in your hair all day without slipping, as the silk grips itself at the knot.
- Around the neck, it slips under a shirt or sweater collar without bulk: it is the format you keep under your coat.
Know-How & Material
The Rubans de soie scarf is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal as our 90 cm scarves, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to creasing. The print is done in high definition, which renders 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-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 takes up a larger part of the design, and it is what shows once the scarf is folded into a band. The 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 silk scarf, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- On a gray coat, tied in a soft bow.
- With a white t-shirt and jeans, as a bandana on the head.
- On a pale pink blouse, around the wrist, two wraps and a small knot.
This format is found throughout the small 50x50 silk scarves 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 can be washed flat in a few minutes and dries quickly; it is the scarf you care for most often, because it touches your hair and skin. 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.
