Yes, this is 100% mulberry silk — 14 momme charmeuse, a satin weave that falls in looser folds than twill. Large blue hibiscus open among green palm and monstera leaves on a cream ground, each shape outlined in fine line and then filled with flat colour, which is what gives the print its poster-like clarity. A soft mint border closes the square.

• 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.

• HIBISCUS, PALM AND MONSTERA Outlined-and-filled tropical botanicals in blue and green on cream, inside a mint border.

• 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.

• A SUMMER PRINT THAT WORKS IN A CITY Blue and green on cream stays legible even when the scarf is rolled thin for a headband or a bag strap.

• 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.
