Small silk square 50 Silk Ribbons
Wide powder pink and taupe ribbons cross and tie in loops on the cream field, until they themselves form the border of the square. The engraving line shadows each fold of the ribbon: a silk design that depicts silk.
The 50 x 50 is the format for quick gestures: folded into a four-finger headband, it ties at the neck as a short scarf, on the head as a bandana, around the wrist or on a bag handle. It never creates volume, making it easier to wear than a 90 under a coat collar.
Wearing Experience
- The drawn knots dialogue with the real knot: it is the most « accessory » square in the series.
- The powder pink and taupe soften the gray, navy and black of winter coats.
- Folded as a headband, it stays in your hair all day without slipping, the silk gripping itself at the knot.
- At the neck, it slips under a shirt or sweater collar without bulk: it is the format you keep under your coat.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Silk Ribbons square is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with discreet diagonal as our 90 squares, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to wrinkles. The printing is done in high definition, which restores the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn with a needle, never serged by machine.
At 50 cm, the square is cut from the same twill as the 90: same density, same hand. The difference is in proportion: the border takes up a larger part of the design, and it is what shows once the square is folded as a headband. The 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
