Five ways to wear a silk scarf

At the neck or over the hair. Fold the scarf diagonally into a long band or leave it as a loose triangle. Silk twill holds the shape of a knot without losing its softness in motion

At the waist. Thread the scarf through belt loops, tie it over a dress, or wrap it around a bag handle. A small field of colour changes the proportions of a look without overwhelming it

As a top. Fold the 90×90 cm scarf into a triangle and tie it around the body; the 120×120 cm size gives more freedom for draping. Check that every knot is secure before wearing

As a pareo. The 120×120 cm size can be tied at the waist or hips over swimwear. The diagonal weave holds the form while natural silk remains fluid

As a soft carryall. Knot opposite corners to create handles for lightweight everyday pieces. This method is suited to textiles and small objects, not heavy contents or sharp edges
