Recent Acquisitions 2

I am going away for a couple of days tomorrow, however I have another post for you to enjoy.  So one of the next scarves I got was a vintage La Reale.  I had to wash this one when it came as it had a strong smell of perfume (and still does) and one or two marks that have come with its age, however it is much better for the wash I gave it!  The silk is beautifully soft and has the feel more of the 70cm scarves that you can buy today.  Whilst the colours are not the best for me I wanted a La Reale in my collection and for the price I paid this met the requirement nicely.

Some ideas of how to wear the scarf - here mainly simple drapes 

and some knots using a scarf ring.

    Fine, decent, wearable, nice - I always loved La Reale and have been looking for something like such colouring, never found it. Enjoy your perfect scarf which you can wear always and wherever. Maria

      Hi Maria - I did think of you when I found this one as I know you were after one. Which colourway do you like? SAxx

      Wow, I have to say I adore a pirate, and when he comes on a lovely silk scarf, well, that is perfect :) You will enjoy wearing this new acquisition!

      After "strong" colours, a neutral La Reale is something I did not know even existed! Perfect colouring - like I said, can be used always and anyhwere which is an important quality of the scarf+fabulous design. Congrats. Good find! Maria

    This scarf looks so lovely and soft and the colours are so subtle, unusual colours I would think for this design. I also have an older La Reale, it's nice and soft too but the colours are green and red, so it has become my Christmas scarf.
