A silk scarf can give a familiar handbag a different look without changing the bag itself. Tie it to a handle, strap or hardware detail to introduce color, pattern and movement.
One scarf can create several effects, from a compact bow to a longer flowing accent. Start with your handbag and a favorite silk scarf, then consider how you will carry the bag and whether you want a casual, polished or more decorative effect. Experiment with the scarf placement and let the color or pattern become a focal point on the bag. To create all these styles, you can use any scarf of our collections: a twill silk square scarf - size 90x90cm (36x36") or 70x70cm (27x27") or a chiffon silk scarf - size 170x67cm (67x26in). If you are using a square twill silk scarf, you can either fold it into a short ribbon or into a long band (diagonal folding). If you prefer a longer flowing scarf, keep the ends clear of the ground. Handles and straps can provide convenient tying points; avoid rough or sharp hardware that could snag delicate silk. Try different folds, knots and placements to change the look while protecting the silk.
