How to Choose a Silk Scarf - A Must-Have for your Wardrobe
To what color are you drawn? Pick a silk scarf based on color first! If you LOVE the color, it will be magnetic in your wardrobe. You will reach for it time and again if it's a color that makes you feel beautiful.
Secondly, choose a silk scarf based on theme that inspires you. The subject matter of the design should spark an emotive connection, uplift, intrigue or represent a favorite personal motif.
Thirdly, look for artisan quality that will last as an heirloom you can hand-down to generations. As you investigate, look for:
- color saturation on both sides of the scarf
- drapability and hand of the silk twill
- hand-rolled edge ~ this is the mark of a luxury silk scarf! That gorgeous dimensional edge is the most special detail
We boast a lovely 38"x38" silk square that is actually a couple inches larger than the traditional 36" designer silk scarves on the market. Hands-down, we have received unsolicited compliments that ladies LOVE the slightly larger size as they can do more with it. For example, it's possible to tie your scarf as a belt and not just knot the ends, but have enough length to tie a bow! We just love the feminine touch this brings.
**PLUS, our silk scarves dry clean beautifully!! Be sure to tell your premium cleaner to NOT press the rolled-edge of the scarf and voila! You will be thrilled with the end result.
Enjoy the hunt for the perfect silk scarf for your wardrobe!
