This silk scarf reproduces a painting by artist Alain Thomas. A leading figure in naïve-primitive painting, Thomas has a deep appreciation for exotic flora and fauna. The Japanese ibises are beautifully rendered here, thanks to the high quality of our silk printing.
The painting Ibis du Japon by Alain Thomas tells the story of an ibis traveling across Japan. The artwork is a blend of vivid colors and varied textures, representing different aspects of Japanese culture. It is an ode to the beauty and diversity of landscapes that reflect Japan's rich culture and natural environment. The painting also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving Japanese nature and heritage.
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. A silk square cherished by women.
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.
