BLACK CASHMERE BLEND SCARF - THALES

Inspired by men’s tie designs from the 1980s, this cashmere scarf is comprised of a central design that imitates braids, with two small strips of herringbone at both edges of the scarf. The ensemble is colored with neutral tones, black and chestnut taupe, so as to emphasize the special cashmere weaving technique.

Both fashionable and timeless, this men’s scarf can be worn with most of your clothes. It will add an extra elegant touch to your look. It lends a more urban or classic style to a gray, brown, or black suit, and a more sporty touch to leather jackets or green, blue, Bordeaux, red, beige, chestnut brown, or gray sweaters.

To wash a cashmere scarf, we advise washing by hand in tepid or cold water with a special wool detergent. Do not let it soak for too long. To dry, put the scarf in a cotton towel to soak up the excess water, but do not wring it out or twist it. Then lay the scarf flat to dry. You can restore the scarf’s softness and delicate touch by ironing on medium low with the vapor function. While putting it in the dryer is absolutely out of the question, you can take it in for dry cleaning instead.

The weaving method used to make this scarf involves the interweaving of silk warp thread with cashmere and cotton weft threads, utilizing a specially curated pattern. In order to do this, the Fabrique d’Écharpe weaving atelier uses Jacquard looms. The Jacquard loom was developed by Lyon-native Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801, who created the first mechanical system that could be programmed with perforated cards to create a design by interweaving different colored threads. Thanks to the artisan weaving knowledge transmitted to us from generation to generation since 1880, today we have electronically controlled looms that allow for the scarf to be produced with impeccable quality all while respecting the purest methods of traditional Lyon Jacquard weaving.
