Amulets give way to the silk scarf

After a season in which handbags were showered with all manner of charms - from Y2K lanyards and personalised keyrings to the plush Labubu toy that caused a real furore online - fashion is taking a new direction. This year, an elegant alternative is coming to the fore: the silk scarf. With its sophisticated look, it replaces colourful playfulness with subtlety and genuine style.
 

This summer the silk scarf is the star of accessories

This season it is the silk scarf that will conquer fashion hearts. With ease and finesse, it adds instant elegance and a sense of freshness to any bag. Whether casually wrapped around the handle of a wicker basket or tied in a knot left to blow in the wind, the scarf becomes a symbol of timelessness. Inspiration comes from 60's icons like Jane Birkin, who loved to add personality to her handbag with this colourful silk plaid.

Over the past few seasons, the silk scarf has established itself as an indispensable summer accent that invariably returns in fashion from Paris to Tokyo. Designers never stop experimenting: at Celine, it is artistically intertwined around the current It-bag, while at Diesel's spring-summer 2025 show, the entire accessory is literally wrapped in a scarf - a spectacular and creative approach that turns each bag into an expression of individual style.

And the best thing about the scarf is that it is multifunctional. It can enhance a bag for a walk in the city or serve as sun protection at the beach. A 2-in-1 accessory!
