A proud archetype rooted in history, the 'Brides et Frontaux' silk square is one of the iconic equestrian-inspired motifs, elevated to the status of a silk design classic. A symbol of equestrian power and the exceptional craftsmanship that shaped the identity of the silk scarf, Malfroy reissues this 1980s classic. Inspired by harness-making workshops, it features intricate details of bridles, buckles, and equestrian ribbons crossing and intertwining. Today, this square is reimagined through vibrant color choices and striking tonal combinations. These new compositions pay tribute to a traditional design that remains beloved and ever-present in our wardrobes.
The Heritage Theme: Showcasing our historical designs.
For several seasons, Maison Malfroy has chosen to highlight its heritage and history by revaluing its archives and historical designs. Our design studio has undertaken a selection and reinterpretation of these designs to add a modern touch. Through digitization, the creation of new colors, and the subtle addition of graphic elements, these designs are brought back to life. This season, three designs caught our attention: a square with a paisley pattern, a bandana-style square, and a houndstooth square with floral polka dots. A silk square cherished by women.
Silk: a noble fabric for a silk square
Maison Malfroy selects superior quality silk for you. Light and soft, silk provides freshness in summer and warmth in winter. Its drape and shine enhance the colors of our patterns. Its hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties will protect your skin. Silk twill, also known as silk serge, is a type of weave that creates distinctive diagonal lines. The twill weave makes it more resistant to wear and tear than other types of silk. It is a luxurious silk fabric with exceptional properties. Silk twill can vary in weight, ranging from light to medium. Did you know? Silk uses your body heat to warm up and then releases that heat back onto your body.
The hand-rolled hem: a refined French finish
Handmade, roulotté is a true craftsmanship. The seamstress rolls the edge of the fabric under her fingers until a tight, firm roll is achieved, which retains its flexibility and puffiness. A stitch secures the fabric and makes it invisible. The roulotté frames the design and enhances the scarf.
The silk square: the traditional format of the silk scarf
The size of a silk square is 90×90 cm. It can be worn in various ways: pointed at the front, as a tie, as a snood, in the hair, or simply tied to a handbag. The Malfroy square is the ultimate silk scarf. Made from high-quality silk twill and printed with the greatest care, it is an exceptional accessory. The vibrancy of the colors, the softness of the silk, and the hand-finished edges make it unique and are the markers of its high quality.
