The Hand of Fatima, or Hamsa, is an ancient protective symbol shared by many cultures, long worn to keep harm at bay and invite health and good fortune. Manuela Jarry has always been intrigued by it. In Hands Down, she draws it again and again in different variations, so the whole square reads like a collection of small talismans.

Set in deep green, the hand-drawn design is graphic without being loud. Green flatters most complexions and sits beautifully against camel, navy, cream and black, so this carré moves easily from a winter coat to a white shirt in spring.

Designed by Quebec artist Manuela Jarry.

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 preferable, but silk can also be hand washed with care. To remove folds, steam lightly or iron on a low silk setting on the reverse side. Silk is a natural fibre with a memory of its own; treat it kindly and it will last for years. Full instructions on our Product Care page.

How to wear +
  • The 90 is the most versatile of the Dora Nola formats, with plenty of silk for fuller knots that stay put.
  • Neck: folded into a band and loosely knotted, or draped open over the shoulders
  • Hair: as a headwrap or a wide headband
  • Bag: knotted around the handle of a tote or a larger bag
  • Waist: folded lengthwise and threaded through belt loops
  • As a top: the 36 in square ties easily into a top for warm days. Our Journal shares a few ways in Innovative ways to wear your silk scarves
Packaging +

Your carré arrives folded in a Dora Nola signature gift box. Silk keeps a few folds from its trip; a gentle steam will relax them in seconds.
