Prism Silk Scarf 90

Prism opens like a view you can’t quite take in all at once. Manuela Jarry drew it as a series of abstract landscapes, hills and horizons layered one behind the other, stretching as far as the eye can see. She took liberties with colour on purpose: the land turns electric pink, the shadows deep burgundy, the sky teal and lavender, with pauses of cream and a fine thread of gold running through it all.

The design is also a nod to painters Manuela has long admired: Lawren S. Harris of the Group of Seven, whose landscapes have always fascinated her, and contemporary painter Nicolas Party. Prism is her own way of painting space, less a specific place than the feeling of standing in front of a wide-open horizon.

On a 36 × 36 in (90 × 90 cm) carré, the composition has room to unfold. Fold it narrow and you get a band of pink and teal; open it over your shoulders and the whole landscape appears. The palette is rich without shouting, so it gives an instant lift to a navy coat, a black sweater or a crisp white shirt.

A hand-drawn design by Canadian artist Manuela Jarry, imagined and sewn in Quebec.

  • A generous format that goes from neck to shoulders, hair, bag or even a top
  • A palette that wakes up your everyday navy, black and grey
  • Arrives in a gift box, ready to give (or to keep for yourself)

Care +

Dry cleaning is preferable. If you’d rather do it yourself, hand wash in cool water with a gentle silk detergent, don’t wring, and lay flat to dry away from direct sun. Silk travels folded, so a few soft creases may greet you on arrival: a pass with a steamer, or a low iron on the silk setting with a cloth in between, and the horizon is smooth again.

How to wear +

A carré this size is the most versatile scarf in your drawer; here are a few ways to start.

Classic neck knot: fold into a triangle, then into a band, and tie loosely at the side of the neck

Over the shoulders: open it wide over a coat or a simple dress and let the landscape show

In the hair: fold into a band for a headband, or tie it as a headscarf for windy days

On a bag: knot it around a handle for a pop of colour

As a top: yes, really. Our Styling Guide shows you how
