Understanding Form & Weight
Each accessory carries a different intention. Form, weight, and proportion determine how a piece moves, warms, and layers.
The guide below explains how we define each category.
SCARF
Width: 20-40 cm (8-16 in ength: 140-200 cm (35-80 in
Approx. Weight: 80-150 g (3-5 oz)
Slim and versatile: worn mainly around the neck for warmth or as an accent.
WRAP / STOLE
Width: 40-70 cm (16-28 in)
Length: 160-200 cm (63-80 in)
Approx. Weight: 150-300 g (5-10 oz)
Broader than a scarf but lighter than a shawl.
More about elegance and style than full warmth, often draped.
