Loro Piana is renowned for its exquisite textiles, like rare vicuña wool and ultra-soft baby cashmere. But silk is another house favourite that gets the same meticulous treatment, as the Cardo Veneziano Foulard proves. A 60 cm by 60 cm Habutai silk square, the scarf features a design inspired by antique Venetian tapestries.

Nothing short of wearable art, the foulard depicts a vibrant thistle motif amidst lush greenery and vivid blooms. Each print uses 16 colours, complete with an ornate border, hand-rolled hems and the name and date of creation stamped in Roman numerals. Available in two colourways, Chalk/Deep Lagoon Water and Sunset Glow/Green Fluorite.
