Guardian Silk Carré 90
Guardian is about kindness. Manuela Jarry drew it with Indian henna in mind, and with the rituals and small gestures that carry real intention. Plants, insects and open eyes fill the square, quietly watching over whoever wears it. The idea is simple: a piece that feels safe, and makes the day a little lighter.
The palette moves between golden yellow and peach, and the way you fold it decides which one leads: bring the peach forward for something soft and warm, or let the yellow take over for a brighter, sunnier look. Both sit easily with denim, camel, white or black, so one scarf gives you two moods.

Original hand drawn design by Quebec artist by Manuela Jarry.

- Printed on both sides, so it looks finished however it falls

New silk has a little more body at first; it softens beautifully as you wear it.
Colours may vary slightly depending on your screen.
Care
+
Dry cleaning is best, but silk can also be hand washed in cool water with a gentle silk detergent. Never wring; roll it in a towel and let it dry flat, away from direct sun. Folds from the box relax with a light steam, or with a cool iron on the silk setting through a pressing cloth. Full instructions on our Product Care page.
How to wear
+
- Choose your colour: fold it to show mostly peach or mostly golden yellow, depending on your outfit or your mood.
- Neck: folded into a band and knotted to the side, or draped loosely under an open coat.
- As a top: the 36 in square ties easily into a top for warm days. Find a few ideas in our Styling Guide.

- Shoulders: open as a light wrap on cool evenings.
