Product Insights
Paul Smith's Multicoloured Stripes Lightweight Scarf draws on the Artist Stripe design from 1996, offering a vibrant accent piece with exceptional color saturation and fade resistance from its viscose-silk blend. Its fluid, non-clinging drape layers smoothly under a jacket or over a sweater without adding heat, while the breathable natural fibers prevent overheating in mild weather. The cool, smooth handfeel is softer than pure silk with moisture-wicking properties. At $275 CAD, the scarf provides over five times the surface area of similarly priced Burberry silk scarves, but the same design is available for approximately $180 USD elsewhere, and dry cleaning is recommended to maintain its condition.
