    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes a scarf a luxury scarf?

    A luxury scarf comes down to fine fibre — cashmere, silk or fine wool — a generous size and a hand-finished edge; the wider category sits under scarves and wraps. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep luxury scarves for warmth and colour.

    Which luxury scarf fibre and size should I pick?

    Pick a luxury scarf by fibre and scale: cashmere or fine wool for winter warmth, silk or a silk blend for a lighter summer piece, in a colour that uses your coat as a backdrop; a printed design sits under Inoui Editions scarf. A big square can stand in as a light shoulder wrap.

    How do I tie and wear a luxury scarf?

    Tie and wear a luxury scarf looped once at the neck, draped long over a coat, or knotted as a light wrap, letting a fine fibre fall softly; woven pieces sit under Wallace Sewell. Keep the outfit quiet so the colour and the drape of the scarf lead.

    How should a luxury scarf be cleaned and stored?

    Follow the care guidance for the fibre: cashmere and fine wool may call for cool hand-washing, while silk may require specialist cleaning; throws sit under luxury throws and blankets. Dry and store the scarf according to the manufacturer's care instructions.
