Compared With The Alternatives
| Digitally printed polyester scarves | Polyester takes print cheaply but the hand is flat and it does not breathe. Silk carries the same artwork with depth and moves differently. |
|---|---|
| Machine-hemmed scarves | A machine hem is faster and cheaper. A hand-rolled hem gives the scarf its weight at the edge and is the first thing a buyer inspects. |
| Screen printed scarves | Screen printing suits flat colour and larger repeats. Digital printing holds photographic detail and gradients, with no colour-count limit. |
Care And Handling
- Wear at the neck, over the head, in the hair, at the waist or tied to a bag handle.
- Hand wash only in cool water with a mild detergent.
- Do not wring. Roll in a towel to remove water.
- Dry away from direct sunlight, because silk protein absorbs ultraviolet light and yellows over time.
- Press on the reverse at a low setting while slightly damp.
