How to Tie a Silk Scarf: Celeste and Hortensia Styles

Quick answer

For a versatile silk scarf look, use the Celeste 90 cm for dramatic neck knots and the Hortensia Midi 50 cm for playful hair or bag ties.

Step-by-step styling guide

1. Classic neckerchief with Hortensia Midi: Fold the 50 cm scarf diagonally into a triangle, then fold the long edge toward the point to create a 5 cm band. Place the center of the band at the front of your neck, wrap the ends behind, and tie a single knot. Adjust the knot to one side for a relaxed look. Avoid pulling the knot too tight — a loose tie keeps the silk from creasing and looks more effortless.
2. Dramatic neck drape with Celeste: Fold the 90 cm scarf in half to form a triangle, then place the point at your chest. Bring the two ends behind your neck, cross them, and bring them forward. Tie a loose knot or tuck the ends under the triangle for a waterfall effect. Check that the point hangs evenly — an off-center point can make the drape look lopsided.
3. Ponytail wrap with Hortensia Midi: Gather your hair into a low ponytail. Fold the 50 cm scarf lengthwise into a 5 cm band, wrap it around the hair tie, and tie a double knot at the top or side. Let the tails hang loose for a feminine touch. Don't wrap the scarf too tightly around the hair — it should slide easily without pulling strands.
4. Bag handle tie with Celeste: Fold the 90 cm scarf into a long strip about 8 cm wide. Wrap it around the handle of a tote or handbag, starting at the base. Loop the ends through each wrap and finish with a small bow at the top. Secure the ends with a tight double knot — a loose bow can unravel when you carry the bag.
