LeScarf
LeScarf is a Swedish scarf label built on a simple idea: one well-chosen square can change an entire outfit. Our edit covers silk, cashmere and cotton scarves in paisley, polka dot and animal prints, mostly in compact 50cm and 65cm squares that tie neatly at the neck, through a ponytail or onto a bag handle.
Browse them alongside the rest of our scarves and accessories. Everything arrives in small batches and is never restocked, so if a print catches your eye, come and try it against your coat in our Pontcanna Street shop in Cardiff.
LeScarf at Kiti: Swedish scarves, small and perfectly formed
Scandinavian dressing is famously pared back, and LeScarf understands that the smallest detail often makes the biggest difference. The Swedish label focuses on printed squares in beautiful fabrics, designed to be worn every day rather than saved for best. We were drawn to the prints first, then to how easily the scarves slip into the way our customers already dress: with jeans, a good knit and a coat they love.
Silk scarves for women: why the small square works
A small silk scarf is one of the most versatile things in a wardrobe. It adds colour near the face, softens a sharp collar and turns a plain white tee into an outfit. Because the squares are compact, there is no bulk to deal with, so they work under a blazer as easily as with a summer dress. Our silk paisley scarf is a good place to start if you are new to wearing a square, and it pairs beautifully with our blazers and shirts and blouses.
Paisley scarves in silk, cashmere and cotton
Paisley is the backbone of our LeScarf edit, and having it in different fabrics means there is a version for every season. The cashmere paisley scarf is soft and warm enough for autumn and winter, worn knotted under a coat collar. Silk paisley has more sheen and drape, ideal for tying at the neck or around a bag handle. The cotton paisley scarf is the most relaxed of the three, with a slightly matte finish that feels at home with denim.
Polka dot and animal print scarves
If paisley feels too traditional, our polka dot and animal print scarves offer something punchier. The Polkadot scarf is a classic that never quite goes out of style, while the Leo and Dalmatian scarves bring a little playfulness to a neutral outfit. Animal print in a small square is also the gentlest way to try the trend: it adds interest without dominating. Wear one with our jeans and a simple knit from our knitwear edit.
Choosing your size: 50cm or 65cm
Most of our LeScarf scarves come in a 50cm or a 65cm square, and the size changes how you can wear them. A 50cm square is ideal as a neckerchief, a hair tie or a bag accessory, with just enough length for a neat knot. A 65cm square gives you a little more fabric to play with, so you can fold it into a triangle and tie it at the front, wear it as a headscarf or loop it twice around the neck. Each product page lists the size, and we are always happy to help you choose in store.
Five ways to tie a LeScarf scarf
- Neckerchief: fold into a triangle, roll from the long edge and knot loosely at the side of the neck.
- Ponytail: wrap a rolled scarf around a hair tie and leave the ends to hang.
- Headscarf: fold a 65cm square into a triangle and tie at the nape of the neck.
- Bag handle: wind a 50cm square around the strap of your favourite bag.
- Belt: thread a rolled scarf through the loops of high-waisted jeans for a softer alternative to leather.
For warmer, chunkier scarves for the depths of winter, explore our Becksöndergaard wool and alpaca-wool styles, or our full hats, scarves and gloves edit.
Caring for your scarf
Silk and cashmere reward a little care. Always check the label before washing; as a rule, delicate fibres prefer a gentle hand wash in cool water or a trip to the dry cleaner, and they should be dried flat away from direct heat. Store scarves folded rather than hung, and they will keep their shape for years.
