This is a premium "Carré" size square scarf, a format made famous by the great French and Italian fashion houses. It is crafted from heavyweight silk twill, recognizable by the fine diagonal ribs in the weave which give the fabric a structured drape and a soft matte luster. The edges are likely hand-rolled and hand-stitched, a hallmark of luxury production where the hem is rolled toward the front (the printed side) and secured with tiny, meticulous stitches. This size is highly versatile and is often treated as a piece of "wearable art" due to the complexity of the screen-printed designs.

DIMENSIONS 33 in x 33 in

CONDITION REPORT The scarf appears in good vintage condition. The silk maintains its "snap" and hasn't become limp from over-cleaning. The hand-rolled edges are plump. No significant pinholes (from scarf clips), snags, or color bleeding were noted.
