Silk scarf 'il Carnevale', 100% silk twill women's square neck retailer scarf with hand finished hem

My design for "il Carnevale" was inspired by my honeymoon in Venice, where the it is hard not to feel inspired by the beautiful palazzos and piazzas, and the striking forms and colours of the 'Carnevale di Venezia' masks. My dear husband lost the mask that I bought in the airport on the way back, but I was able to re-imagine from memory and research, and now I again have something special by which to remember my trip. Along with my husband, I suppose.

I begin the design process for my scarves by painting the individual motives by hand in watercolour, and then scanning these into Illustrator software to replicate across the whole design and add simpler elements such as lines and background colours. The design is then digitally printed on to luxurious silk twill (100% silk), and the hem is hand rolled and stitched.

The scarf is a fairly generous sized neck scarf, measuring 35" x 35" (about 90cm x 90cm). While I make sure that there are no creases before I carefully fold for shipping, some may develop in transit, but these can be ironed out on a warm setting with no steam, or retailer will smooth out with time and use in any case.

All orders are sent in a presentation box as shown in the photos, perfect for a gift or a treat for yourself!
