Printing and weaving stories, within a magnificent landscape. Como's oldest tradition is told only with Silk. In 1400 Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, had a brilliant idea: planting mulberry trees around Lake Como, to the delight of local greedy silkworms. This marked the beginning of Lake Como's prosperous silk industry, which was cemented by the creation of prestigious schools for skilled artisans, dedicated to honing the talents of the finest silk experts in all of Italy. As time passed, Lake Como's silk garnered such widespread acclaim that, by 1972, its production surpassed even that of China and Japan. Grand Tour Lake Como silk scarves are designed and made in Como, manufactured in Italy with the highest quality silk, and are sewn and stitched by hand to guarantee their perfection. They are the most delightful accessory to keep your neck safe from wind gusts, to wear as a dress for a romantic getaway on the lake, or even to just fix your everyday's hairstyle using it as a bandana. The design matches with scrunchies, twillies, headbands, and ribbons of the same collection, so you can create your coordinated style. Dimensions: 90x90 Cm - 35.43x35.43"
