Product Type: Scarves & Wraps

This silk neck scarf, the Irene from ClaudiaG, is 39 inches long and only 3.5 inches wide, a ribbon of silk sized for one neat knot at the collar. Two striped colorways are offered. Black has fine black stripes on white with a black edge. Olive has brown stripes on cream inside a deep olive border. Both are graphic, quiet prints that go with almost anything in a closet.

  • Sized for one knot. Around a 14 inch neck, 39 inches leaves about 25 inches for the knot and two short tails.
  • Flat under collars. At 3.5 inches wide it sits under a shirt collar or a coat without making a lump.
  • Pointed tips. The ends are cut on a slant and the stripes follow the edge, so a knot finishes in two sharp points.

Silk Scarf Around Your Neck

How to tie a silk scarf around your neck at this length is quick. For the classic, wrap it once, cross the ends at the side of the throat and tie a single loose knot so the tips point down and out. For a cowboy knot, fold it so the ends meet in front, knot once and let them fan. For a tie look, loop it under a shirt collar, cross the ends in front and tuck them into a single slipknot. A short scarf rewards a small knot, so keep it low on the neck and slightly off center.

Where a Narrow Scarf Belongs

Narrow silk is the scarf for days when a full one would be too much: the open collar of a white shirt, the neckline of a black sweater, the gap above a buttoned trench. It also works as a belt through denim loops, a handle wrap on a small bag or a ribbon tied around a straw hat. Because it is short, there is no excess to manage once it is knotted, which keeps it tidy during a long day.

Black Stripes or Olive Stripes

The black version is crisp and slightly nautical; pair it with navy, white and red as easily as with black. The olive version is warmer, and its brown stripes and olive edge pull together khaki, camel and denim. ClaudiaG's care line is short: hand wash in cold water, no bleach, and lay it flat to dry.

Keeping the Irene Scarf Fresh

What is the safe way to wash a silk scarf? Swish it in cool water with a drop of gentle shampoo for a minute, rinse in cool water, then lay it on a towel, roll the towel up and press. Never wring it, since twisting breaks silk fibers. Lay it flat out of direct sun to dry.

Can I iron the creases out of a silk scarf? Yes, on the lowest silk setting with a thin cloth between the iron and the scarf. Ironing from the back of the print protects the colors.

Is a 39 inch scarf too short to wrap twice? It wraps twice only around a very slim neck with no tails left. Wear it once around and let the knot do the work.
