01 / Liberty
Grayson Perry for Liberty Shirley Smith Silk Scarf 45
£95
An artist collaboration need not occupy an entire outfit. This small square brings Grayson Perry’s invented world to a collar or wrist; choose it for someone who enjoys finding a story in a drawing. At 45 cm, its appeal is the compact accent rather than generous coverage.
- Dimensions
- 45 × 45 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill; hand-rolled hem
- Palette
- Pink

02 / Thackray of England
The Garden After Dark
£250
The black ground gives this botanical design an evening sensibility. We would pair it with a dark jacket, allowing the flowers to supply the colour, or open the square more broadly when the drawing is the point of the outfit. Its five-piece edition adds specificity to a gift for a garden lover.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% mulberry silk twill; 18 momme; hand-rolled hems
- Palette
- Black / multicolour
Described as available to reserve; delivery within one month. Confirm current ordering status with Thackray.
03 / Burberry
Check Silk Scarf — Sand beige
£375
The familiar check is given a distinct frame by contrasting stripes. Choose this version when you want a defined edge at the collar: folded into a band, the border can matter as much as the check itself. A useful comparison with Burberry’s softer Watercolour treatment below.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill; hand-rolled edges
- Palette
- Sand beige
Add-to-bag option listed
04 / Pucci
Mixed Print Silk Scarf — Khaki and Pink
£360
Khaki gives the pink a less expected companion than cream or black. Fiamme and Nawaho meet in a generous square; we would explore it with olive tailoring or a plain pink shirt. Compare the open and folded views at Pucci to decide which part of the pattern you want nearest the face.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill
- Palette
- Khaki / pink

05 / Etro
Silk Twill Scarf with Floral Paisley Motif — Blue
£243
The 70 cm format offers a useful middle ground between a small neck accent and a fuller 90. Paisley and floral detail give the blue some movement. Our choice would be to wear it with a plain knit, leaving the pattern room to register without competing with another print.
- Dimensions
- 70 × 70 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill
- Palette
- Blue

06 / Dior
Dior Oblique Mitzah Scarf — Grey
US$250 · US listing
A pointed ribbon rather than a square, the Mitzah suits someone who wants a slender line of pattern. Its reverse carries a contrasting signature band, giving the tie a second face. Compare its 105 cm length with Pucci’s shorter bandeau before deciding how you want to knot it.
- Dimensions
- 105 × 6 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill
- Palette
- Grey

07 / Thackray of England
If Only We Could Keep That Hour
£200
For a Christmas gift, the poem provides a more personal starting point than a seasonal logo. The design takes its story from the anticipation of Christmas morning. We would choose it for someone for whom the ritual has meaning, keeping the poem and edition details with the scarf.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% mulberry silk twill; 18 momme; hand-rolled hems
- Palette

The description states all five available and an October order deadline for Christmas delivery; confirm at purchase.
08 / Louis Vuitton
LV Journey Square 90 — Dune
£450
Luggage, balloons and transport motifs turn the square into a small travel narrative. The Dune colourway is our starting point for someone who likes pictorial silk alongside a quieter wardrobe. Ask to see it folded: a busy composition can become a surprisingly contained detail at the neck.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk; silk-screen print; hand-rolled hem
- Palette
- Dune beige
In-store availability enquiry listed; check with Louis Vuitton
09 / Pucci
Baiadera and Fiamme Print Silk Bandeau
£110
Bordeaux and gold bring warmth in a deliberately small format. This is an option for a hair tie or a decorative knot on a bag, not a substitute for the coverage of a square. Its 70 cm length is worth measuring against the knot you have in mind.
- Dimensions
- 70 × 5 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill; pointed ends
- Palette
- Bordeaux / gold

10 / Burberry
Watercolour Check Silk Scarf — Sand beige
£375
Here the check is softened by a watercolour effect, with the Equestrian Knight Design adding another layer. We would consider it where the standard check feels too sharply defined. Compare the two sand-beige squares in the same fold; the distinction is in the treatment, not simply the name of the colour.
- Dimensions
- 90 × 90 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill; hand-rolled edges
- Palette
- Sand beige
Add-to-bag option listed
11 / Pucci
Baiadera Print Silk Triangle Scarf
£325
A triangle changes the starting point: the shape is already built into the cloth. This khaki-and-pink design is worth considering for broader draping, with the dimensions checked against the intended arrangement. Pucci also suggests top and sarong styling; those uses depend on individual fit and tying length.
- Dimensions
- 120 × 120 cm, as listed; triangular format
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk twill
- Palette
- Khaki / pink

12 / Alexander McQueen
Classic Silk Chiffon Skull Scarf — Ivory/Black
Price: enquire
The skull repeat carries a different attitude from a pictorial twill square, while chiffon offers a lighter, sheer construction. We would explore a loose drape with dark tailoring rather than a precise neck knot. This is a reference to enquire about, with current price and stock to be confirmed.
- Dimensions
- 120 × 108 cm
- Cloth & finish
- 100% silk chiffon; fringed edge
- Palette
- Ivory / black
