Use & Care

Use:
Scarves add flair to your outfit. Necktie adds a subtle charm to your wardrobe. Pocket square adds a dash of color to your blazer pocket. Some people have said they plan to frame the pocket square to spice up an art collection.

Care:
For best results, dry clean only.
With a little care, your silk can last a very long time. Here are some things to avoid:

  • Don’t spray your silk with perfume, deodorant, or hair treatments.
  • Never bleach silk.
  • Don’t store your silk where it is exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.
  • Minimize exposure to water and don’t wring silks dry.
  • Never torture your silks in the dryer.

Happiness in a box

I sent this beautiful , cheeky scarf to my sister-in-law who has breast cancer. She's under going Chemo and I thought it might make her laugh as she wrapped it around her head. She adores it and was so thrilled. Cancer can be very somber, but sometimes you just have to remember things could be worse and you also need a lot of laughter to overcome hard times. So as this arrived, she labeled it Happiness in a Box.

Nice and thick silk

My friend has serious business meetings. She’ll love wearing this scarf to them. I’m assuming that the monsters and aliens have protective qualities? (Is a joke, but couldn’t hurt!)

Love this company

I've bought gifts for two friends now, and they have both LOVED them. The tie was the most recent, and it's already been worn several times. Love the work you do, the quality of the products, and the humor that goes into each and every bit of writing. Thank you!

Whimsy & elegance

I love this color blue & its crisp contrast w/ the white background. Many compliments! One friend said, “Lovely scarf! Ooh, pagodas…” & then, “What is that?” By then another friend had joined us. I was compelled to fan open the end. “That is a Sasquatch, & here is Nessie (or is it Champy?) & a pterodactyl.” By then they were like kids on a treasure hunt. “And a rocket, & a robot. What’s that?” “I think that is a Capybara.” “Fascinating! Where did you get that scarf?” “Calamityware! They have dishes that look like Blue Willow, & other fun things, too!” They were intrigued — & I hope will investigate further — & satisfy their need for retail therapy…
