MATCHING SILK SCARVES YELLOW - SOLAIRE

Inspired by springtime with a bouquet of flowers done in early 20th century French naïve style, as if they had been painted in opaque watercolors. The color scheme of the printed scarf is summery especially when combined with the luminous yellow ochre of the monochrome scarf.

Being a very original concept, this pairing of two scarves opens the door to a multitude of possibilities for pairing with different outfits, either together or separate on their own. You can wear your scarves over marine, blue, or yellow dresses, over a jean jacket, or with white ou off-white blouses.

To wash a silk scarf, we advise hand-washing. It should be ironed while it is still moist on high heat and without using the vapor setting. Doing it this way preserves the natural properties of the silk. While putting it in the dryer is forbidden, dry cleaning is allowed.

To dye the silk to make these scarves, we used the winch method, an old artisanal technique which is used for more delicate fabrics on which we must use as little pressure and mechanical processing as possible to complete the job. This method allows the muslin to attain an exceptional level of relaxation. Next, the fabric is fix washed in order to make sure the dyes will hold, as well as to strengthen the fabric and making it more resistant while also making it have a more premium feel to the touch. For the printed scarf, the pattern is applied to the scarf using high quality digital inkjet printing which guarantees that the motif comes out in high definition, optimal color penetration, and without doing harm to the delicate muslin silk. These two scarves are made in the old silk traditions of Lyon, right here in France.
