I had never made scarves before. This was my first time trying it out.

Made with passion , I would like to tell you its story:

In winter 2016, following the success of the flannel ties , and as I was preparing my new collection at my Italian supplier, Vitale Barberis Canonico ( the oldest weaver of high-end wool fabrics in the world ), I had the idea of offer something other than ties .

Why not a scarf?

Not having never worked and made my own scarves , I seized the opportunity .

I already had my little idea in mind.

I have then speak to Mary , the cutter, and I see her hesitate , she wasn't sure of the result but after thinking about it a bit, she convinced herself to cut fabrics to make some scarves .

On my iPad, I was looking for dimensions that were available on the market .

I have a standard size cut then found, put it around my neck and tell myself that it is much too short , it falls to the second button of my shirt.

I have always been frustrated scarves too ungenerous.

I never understood why the scarf lengths were so short on the market .

So I asked Marie to add an extra 30 centimeters .

I iron it and find the ideal dimension , longer than what is usually done.

I was really happy with the result but not yet satisfied.

Back home, I call my workshop and ask for cut a batch of scarves and sew them rolled by hand , like my pockets.

Roll up the edges of the scarves would allow the fabric to hold better and not fray.

If there is one thing I don't like about some scarves are very easy to hang on.

So I wanted to go there remedy And add this little detail , which ultimately isn't one.

The seamstress then told me that I was crazy, but I had really want to try .

Which shows that even if the idea seemed crazy, it was necessary that I'm going to the end And see the rendering on the first prototypes.

The rendering of the first scarf was good but there was something missing , details that no one has seen on a scarf (even if in itself, no one sees woolen scarves dedicated to suits).

I thought about add a cross finish on the edge of the scarf , a daisy and two travetti, details that can be found on shirt sleeves to prevent the seam from jumping.

So I have ordered 50 scarves to my workshop …and they are gone in just 1 week!

You will see that I also played with it new color tones especially to match the fabric to the small details of the scarf .

I created a beautiful set for both the rendering of colors and patterns (especially checkered).

I'll let you discover them...
