The 'Folk Heart' Silk Scarf

Yes, this is 100% mulberry silk — 14 momme charmeuse, a satin weave with a soft sheen on the face and a matte reverse. Two garland hearts sit at the centre of a cobalt square, ringed by tulips, daisies, small cottages and a domed pavilion, drawn with the flat cheerful symmetry of folk embroidery.

• 14 MOMME MULBERRY SILK CHARMEUSE 100% mulberry silk, printed on the face. Charmeuse is a satin weave, so the face carries a soft sheen and the reverse stays matte, and it falls in looser folds than a twill of the same weight.

• GARLAND HEARTS AND COTTAGES Folk-embroidery motifs — hearts, tulips, daisies, cottages and a domed pavilion — in yellow, orange and coral on cobalt.

• SIZE AND STYLING Measures approximately 34 x 34 in. Folded corner to corner it covers the shoulders; rolled thin it becomes a headband, a ponytail tie or a band around a bag strap.

• THE BRIGHTEST THING HERE It is the easiest piece in the collection to spot from across a room, which is exactly what you want from a scarf worn over a plain coat.

• THE EDGE Each of the four edges is rolled and stitched by hand, which is what gives the border its slight plumpness.

• CARE Hand wash cool with a mild detergent for silk, or dry clean. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, cool iron on the reverse and lay flat in the shade.
