Choose your style at a glance

  • For hair: choose a square silk head scarf for a bandana or wrap, or a narrow ribbon for a ponytail bow.
  • For the neck: a small square creates a neat knot; a larger square leaves a fuller fold and longer ends.
  • For bags and shoulders: try a slim ribbon on a handle or a long wrap draped over a simple outfit.

How to choose a silk head scarf

Start with the way you want to wear your hair. A folded square makes a colourful bandana-style accessory, while a larger square gives you more fabric to cover your hair and tie at the nape. For a full wrap, allow room for both your hair volume and the knot: the 88 cm and 106 cm silk squares (SB89) offer more tying space than a compact neckerchief.

Prefer a lighter accent? Fold the 70 cm printed silk scarf (SB83) into a band, or tie a slim ribbon around an existing ponytail fastening. Let the ends fall freely to show the print. The fabric’s smooth feel makes it a lovely finishing touch for hair as well as an outfit.

For a ponytail bow, first secure your hair with one of our mulberry silk scrunchies, then tie a silk ribbon around the base. Choose a coordinating colour for a polished look or a contrasting print for a playful finishing touch.

Silk scarf sizes and styling ideas
Style Measurements Ways to wear it
Printed Silk Twill Ribbon (SB86) 90 × 5 cm A slim ponytail bow, a narrow hair band or a patterned bag-handle tie.
Printed Silk Neckerchief (SB80) 53 × 53 cm A compact neck knot, wrist tie or colourful accent on a handbag.
Printed Square Silk Scarf (SB83) 70 × 70 cm A broader neck fold or a bandana-style headscarf with a visible print.
Blue Heritage Print Silk Square (SB89) 88 × 88 or 106 × 106 cm More fabric for a head wrap, longer tying ends or a loose shoulder drape.
Plum Blossom Silk Georgette Wrap (SB85) 180 × 65 cm A flowing shoulder wrap or a long scarf layered over a dress or jacket.

Neck scarves, printed squares and effortless outfit ideas

For a polished everyday look, fold a small square diagonally, roll it into a narrow band and tie it beside your collar. The Painterly Print Silk Square (SB106) adds an artistic accent to a plain knit or shirt. Leave a triangular corner visible when you want more of the design to show.

For a softer, looser neck tie, try the 68 cm Vintage Floral Silk Square (SB91). A larger square creates a fuller drape, while a long wrap falls beautifully over a dress or blazer. Pick a print containing a colour you already wear often and enjoy mixing it with different outfits.

Discover silk twill, georgette and printed squares

Fabric and shape work together to create the finished look. A silk twill ribbon suits a tidy bow or bag-handle wrap, while the long georgette design gives a shoulder drape a light, flowing feel. For a compact silk option, explore the 53 cm Green Silk Square (SB105), made from 100% silk.

Silk is the fibre; twill and georgette describe fabric construction. Satin describes a weave rather than a fibre. Our separate satin scarves collection offers another styling choice, while this collection brings together our silk designs.

A thoughtful silk gift, a little everyday luxury

A scarf is an easy way to give someone a colour or print that feels like them. Choose a floral neckerchief for a friend who loves classic details, a slim ribbon for someone who enjoys accessorising bags, or a flowing wrap for a special occasion. Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas or a simple thank-you all make lovely reasons to share a wearable favourite.

For a present centred on a cosy evening routine, discover our mulberry silk gift sets. Choose a boxed set on its own, or pair it with a separately selected scarf for a thoughtful combination of bedtime comfort and everyday style.

Care for the silk you love

Keep your scarf away from sharp jewellery and rough fasteners, and store it dry, folded or loosely rolled. Use the individual care label when cleaning, handle the fabric gently and avoid wringing. A little thoughtful care helps keep your favourite accessory ready for its next outing.

Silk scarf FAQs

Which silk scarf size should I choose?

Choose a 53 × 53 cm square for a compact neck knot, a 68–70 cm square for a broader fold, or an 88–106 cm square when you want more fabric for a head wrap or drape. Narrow ribbons suit hair bows and bag ties; long wraps suit shoulders and flowing neck styles.

Can I wear the same scarf on my head and around my neck?

Yes. A square is especially versatile: fold it into a triangle for a headscarf or roll it into a band for a neck tie. Choose a larger square when you want more hair coverage and enough length to tie comfortably.

Is a silk head scarf the same as a silk bonnet?

A head scarf is a flat piece of fabric you fold and tie, giving you freedom to change the styling and coverage. A bonnet is a shaped cap designed for an overnight routine. If you prefer a ready-to-wear bedtime option, explore our silk bonnets.

Where can I buy a silk scarf in Australia?

What is a good silk scarf to give as a gift?

A printed square is a versatile starting point for someone who enjoys neck scarves or hair accessories. A slim ribbon makes a lovely choice for handbag styling, while a long wrap suits someone who likes soft layers over dresses and jackets.
