FAQ-Resort Scarves

Q: What is the fiber content of the scarves?
A: The Gottex scarves are 20% silk and 80% rayon, and the Profile by Gottex scarves 100% rayon. All the scarves are very soft, and have a very nice drape. The fabric is mostly opaque, with just a hint of sheerness. They are hand painted in vivid hues.

Q: What are the dimensions of the scarves?
A: They are a generous 80 by 28 inches, making them large enough to wrap around waist, pareo-style. Yet the fabric is very supple, so it makes a beautiful neck scarf and also folds up very small, for easy packing.

Q: What are the care instructions?
A: Please hand wash with mild detergent and line dry or dry clean.

Q: What does the term “resort scarf” mean?
A: Resort scarves are designed to travel; especially to warm-weather destinations. They are light weight and versatile. We love their vivid, hand-painted colors, that call the tropics to mind. Their multi-colored patterns make them ideal for a traveler’s wardrobe; a scarf will easily liven up a travel-friendly, neutral colored outfit when worn as a shawl, pareo, neck scarf, or even head wrap. They fold up very small, making them suitcase (or carry-on) friendly.

Q: How can a resort scarf be worn?
A: The generous size of these scarves, paired with the suppleness of the fabric make for abundant styling options. A scarf draped around the neck is timelessly stylish; it highlights the face, and brings color to a neutral toned outfit. Use it as a shawl, wrapped around the shoulders; this is especially nice on a cool evening, or in an air-conditioned building. For a fun look, wrap a scarf around the waist, over a skirt or dress. Similarly, wear it over your swimsuit, for an easy, elegant cover-up while spending the day poolside. The striking patterns on these scarves make them ideal for a glamorous head wrap.
