    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do a scarf and a wrap differ?

    A scarf is the narrower piece worn at the neck, while a wrap is broader and falls over the shoulders like a light shawl, though the two do overlap; printed scarves sit under Inoui Editions scarf. We keep scarves and wraps for warmth and colour at Eleish Van Breems Home.

    Which weight works for a summer scarf or a winter wrap?

    A light silk or cotton scarf carries summer while a soft wool or cashmere wrap suits winter, and a mid-weight piece covers the shoulder seasons, so scarves and wraps earn wear right round the year; printed designs sit under Inoui Editions. Let the season set the fibre first.

    Where does an evening wrap earn its place?

    An evening wrap earns its place folded over a chair back ready to catch up on the way out, or draped across the shoulders at the table, adding warmth without a coat, near a few throw pillows. Scarves and wraps in a soft tone work over most outfits.

    What is the tidy way to store scarves and wraps without creasing?

    To store scarves and wraps neatly, roll them loosely or drape them over a padded hanger rather than folding them tightly; printed cloth sits under Marimekko fabric. Follow the care and storage guidance appropriate to the fibre.
