Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a women's scarf and foulard?
A scarf is typically a longer rectangular piece designed primarily for warmth — usually crafted in cashmere or wool for cold-weather layering. A foulard is a smaller, often square piece in lightweight silk, designed primarily as a decorative accessory rather than for warmth. Foulards are worn tied around the neck as fashion statements, worn as elegant head-coverings for travel and resort settings, used to accessorize handbag handles, or styled as belt alternatives. Kiton offers both categories in materials and patterns appropriate to their distinct purposes.
What materials does Kiton use for women's scarves and foulards?
Cashmere scarves feature pure Inner Mongolian cashmere knit at varying weights (2-ply for transitional seasons, substantial constructions for winter warmth). Silk foulards are hand-printed in Como (Italy's traditional silk-printing capital) using techniques that achieve exceptional color depth and pattern registration. Wool and wool-cashmere blends provide structured year-round options. Each material is sourced from elite Italian mills and finished by hand including rolled silk edges and hand-stitched cashmere hems.
How can a Kiton women's foulard be styled?
A Kiton silk foulard offers extraordinary styling versatility. Tied around the neck as a refined statement (loose knot, scarf-tie, or French knot). Worn as an elegant head-covering for resort travel and warm-weather sun protection. Tied around handbag handles for distinctive accessorizing. Styled as a belt or sash for unexpected refinement. Wrapped at the wrist as fabric jewelry. Used as a refined hair accessory tied around a ponytail or headband. The Italian printed designs and silk quality ensure each foulard remains visible and beautiful across multiple styling contexts.
