ITALIAN SCARVES EXPLAINED

As many people do not a buy a scarf on a regular base, some explanation about the most common sizes and fabric types can be useful. We will focus on the luxury designer brand scarves, made in Italy only.​

​

Italian Scarves : Silk

 

The two most use silks are twill silk and chiffon silk (light weight/ see through). The Italian silk are printed for many decades in highly expert silk factories, situated mostly around Como, Italy

​

Italian Scarves : Size
 

The twill silk is often used for the 90x90cm / 36x36" square foulard/ carre. The chiffon silk is often found in the chiffon silk designs, 70x200cm or 70x180cm or 45 x 180cm sizes. 

​

Most brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Valentino and more use similar sizing. Also almost all twill silk square scarves (also called foulard or carre) hand hand stitched borders.
