Product Insights
This 17-inch square silk scarf, carrying an original 1884 William Morris print rescued by Liberty, connects 1960s psychedelic fashion with Victorian design. Made from 100% silk twill printed in Italy with acid dyes for vivid color, it features a hand-rolled hem and opaque weave. At 14 momme, it holds knots securely, resists creasing, and softens with washing while remaining breathable year-round. Priced at $150 CAD—half the cost of the 70cm version—it offers the same Liberty fabric and Italian craftsmanship in a versatile accessory that can be worn as a neckerchief, headband, wrist wrap, or bag embellishment.

- Fabric
- 100% silk from Liberty's London-designed, Italian-printed fabric, as used since the 1960s.
- Hem
- Hand-rolled hem prevents fraying and curling.
- Printing
- Printed with acid dyes for high colour saturation.
- Knot performance
- The 14-momme twill has enough grip and body to hold a knot securely without slipping or collapsing.
- Durability
- Silk twill becomes softer with washing while resisting creasing and recovering its shape after daily knotting.
- Breathability
- The silk twill is breathable and moisture permeable, making it comfortable year-round.
- Opacity
- The tight weave makes the scarf opaque, so the pattern does not show through.
- Styling methods
- This scarf can be styled as a neckerchief, headband, wrist wrap, bag embellishment, or French knot.
- Fabric certification
- The scarf carries the 'Made with Liberty Fabric' label, certifying it is genuine Liberty yardage produced through Liberty's London design and Italian printing pipeline.

- The Lodden scarf's 1884 William Morris design is recreated by Liberty's in-house team as hand-drawn or painted artwork in London's Soho studio, preserving organic linework and colour blending.
- Printing mill
- The scarf is printed at Liberty's own mill near Lake Como, Italy, which produces over 300 designs annually using specialized silk-printing techniques.
- Archive depth
- Liberty's textile archive houses over 50,000 hand-painted designs, making the Lodden print a curated revival from an historic collection rather than a mass-market floral.
- Rights and custody
- After Morris & Co. ceased operations, Liberty secured formal rights to reproduce William Morris designs, making it the official custodian of the Lodden visual heritage.

| Lodden Pure Silk Psychedelic Scarf Made With Liberty Fabric: Choose this if you want a small square silk scarf in an archival design: the Lodden print was originally designed by William Morris in 1884 and is described by Liberty as an Arts and Crafts classic. It is made in Italy from 100% silk twill (Liberty's Monument silk twill, a 14 momme weight) with a hand rolled hem, and this black colorway features a dense multicolor floral medallion pattern with a narrow turquoise border. At 17 inches by 17 inches (43 x 43 cm) in one size, it is a compact neckerchief rather than a large wrap, and the breathable silk is positioned as effortlessly trans-seasonal.[1,2,3,4,5] | Hera Pure Silk Scarf Made With Liberty Fabric: Choose this if you want a small square silk scarf in purple featuring Liberty's heritage Hera print, which the brand characterizes as a showstopping, finely detailed tapestry of floating peacock feathers framed by contrasting double-line and decorative outer borders. It suits wearers who prefer pure silk twill with a smooth, slightly glossy finish, and it comes in one size measuring about 25.6 by 26 inches (65 x 66 cm), made in Italy.[6,7,8] | Ianthe Pure Silk Scarf Made With Liberty Fabric: Choose this if you want a small square silk scarf — 17 by 17 inches (43 by 43 cm) in 100% silk twill, made in Italy — for wearing around your neck or in your hair.
