Samurai Printed Wool Silk Scarf

Made in EnglandFabric: 70% wool, 30% silkSize: 180 x 45cm (= 71 x 17 inch)This wool/silk fabric is airy, soft and warm at the same time: its matte structure and slightly grainy print are perfect for the colder months. In the quiet hills of the British countryside lies the traditional heart of English silk printing: Macclesfield. Once home to numerous manufactures that produced the inimitable screen-printed silk connoisseurs love so dearly, today there are only two left that produce what internationally became known as “British Neats”. But nowadays, they’re also able to print pocket squares using ink jet machines, easily identifiable by the discreet white sheen of the backside (when using block print, the fabric is colored in a ground tone). This modern printing method is best suited for light, more summery colors, which is why we used it here.
