Guardian Silk Neckerchief 50

We can all use a little protection. Like a cabinet of curiosities, Guardian is filled with symbols meant to watch over you and bring health andprosperity: protective hands, insects, plants, flowers and seeds, each waiting to be discovered as you tie and retie the scarf.

Manuela Jarry drew this design while reading The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi, a novel set in 1950s Jaipur where symbolism lives in art, dress and food. Nature runs through every corner of the motif, a nod to her belief that surrounding ourselves with growing things is essential to our wellbeing.

Warm peach and sunny yellow keep the palette soft near the face, and the design pairs easily with denim, cream, navy or crisp white. Tied at the neck on a weekday or slipped onto a bag handle for a weekend outing, it adds colour and a quiet good-luck charm to whatever you’re wearing.

Designed in Quebec by Manuela Jarry. Read the story behind the design

Care +

Silk prefers a gentle routine. Dry cleaning is best, but hand washing is possible following our Product Care guide. Packing folds disappear with a cool iron on the silk setting, or a few minutes in a steamy bathroom.

How to wear +
  • Neck: fold into a triangle and tie a small knot at the side or front, or roll it into a slim band for a classic neckerchief look.
  • Hair: wrap it as a headband, tie it around a ponytail or knot it over a low bun.
  • Bag: loop it around a handle for an instant change of colour.
  • Wrist: fold it into a narrow band and tie it like a bracelet.

The 50 cm format is the most versatile of the Dora Nola scarves: big enough to tie at the neck, small enough to sit neatly in your hair.

Packaging +

Your neckerchief arrives folded in a Dora Nola signature box, ready to give (or to keep for yourself, no explanation needed).
