Snow Leopard Silk Twilly
On cream, a undulating band of snow leopard spots, grey and silver, winds along the ribbon between a few snowflakes. Derived from the Snow Leopard square, this twilly retains its grey and cream color palette.
The twilly is a silk ribbon folded lengthwise, with tapered points: it wraps around a bag handle, ties at the neck as a fine tie, around the wrist as a bracelet or in hair on a ponytail. It is the lightest and easiest to wear silk accessory in the range.
The Wearing Experience
- Grey and cream: the most understated twilly in the series, the one that goes with all bags.
- The undulation of the spots follows the movement of the handle or wrist.
- Wrapped in a spiral on a bag handle, it stays in place without slipping: the silk grips itself and the flat knot finishes the spiral.
- At the neck, it ties in a small knot on the side or as a fine tie under a collar: two loops are enough.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Snow Leopard twilly is printed in Italy on a natural silk twill, 100% silk, the same tight weave with a subtle diagonal as our 90 squares, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to wrinkles. The printing is done in high definition, which reproduces the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn by needle, never machine-finished.
The twilly is printed on a 12 cm twill band, then folded in two lengthwise and rolled on its edges: the finished ribbon is 6 cm wide and 90 cm long, with the two points cut on the bias. The design is composed for the half visible once folded, and reads on both sides. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk square, twill or satin.
Styling Advice
- On a grey or black bag handle, wrapped loosely.
- At the neck, on a white sweater, tied in a small knot on the side.
- In the hair, as a fine headband, points tied on top.
This ribbon is found throughout the collection of silk twillies, derived from our square designs. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk squares collection. To go further: the art of the scarf to enhance an outfit.
Care for Your Piece
The twilly washes flat in just a few minutes, dries flat by pulling the points, and barely needs ironing: it is the simplest silk piece to care for. 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 how to hand wash a silk square.
