Cashmere Scarf 200x70 Ronsard Rose

An autumn bouquet you can wrap yourself in.

Ronsard Rose is late summer turning into autumn, gathered up in one generous armful. Velvety blooms in deep plum, burgundy and wine tumble across the length of the scarf, packed shoulder to shoulder with ruffled golden flowers, sunny little button blooms and feathery ears of ripened grain. Against a soft, earthy taupe ground the colours glow like a still life by candlelight, with flashes of saffron, marigold and fuchsia where the light catches the petals. A slim border of tiny rose-pink dashes frames it all, like a ribbon around the stems.

The design takes its cues from Art Nouveau and the great floral paintings of art history, with organic lines, rich colour and a romance that never tips into twee. It is printed in Lyon, France's historic silk-printing city, using solvent-free inks, onto a cloud-soft blend of 95% cashmere and 5% silk. The result is wonderfully warm yet airy, weighing just 90 grams, and finished with delicate fringed ends that move as you do.

At 200x70cm there are plenty of ways to wear it. Wrap it twice around the neck over a camel or chocolate coat, drape it over your shoulders like a stole on a chilly evening, or let it fall loose over a black roll-neck and jeans and watch it do all the talking. Grey November mornings have met their match.

Care Note

Cashmere likes to be pampered. Hand wash only, using a special wool detergent and no fabric softener. Soak briefly, pat gently, then rinse in clean water. Press out the excess water by rolling it in a towel (no wringing!) and dry flat, away from direct heat. Treat it kindly and it will stay soft for years.
