The Gavroche, or the Parisian art of wearing the small silk scarf
In Paris, the small silk square , also known as a Gavroche , embodies an elegance that is both free-spirited and refined. This 50x50 cm format, which has become iconic, transcends trends without ever losing its freshness. Both chic and spontaneous, the Gavroche is a versatile accessory that complements every style.
You can wear the small silk square in several ways:
- Tied around the neck for a chic and refined look, Parisian style.
- Attached to the hair , as a headband or in a ponytail, for a retro touch.
- Attached to the wrist or handbag for a subtle and sophisticated detail.
This small scarf is ideal for expressing your personality without overdoing it. It pairs perfectly with a classic shirt, a white t-shirt, a trench coat, or a flowing dress. In winter, it adds a touch of softness; in summer, it gives character to a minimalist look.
Gavroche is the art of creating a look without imposing it.
It's an easy piece to incorporate, but one that never goes unnoticed. Whether you prefer a timeless style or like to reinvent the rules, the small silk scarf will find its place in your everyday life.
