Le nœud

How to style a scarf

A carré is never worn the same way twice. There is no single correct way to tie one, only the version that suits the day. Four knots to begin with.

Learning one knot is enough. Once the hands know how to fold a square in half, they can find the other three on their own.

The fold is what changes. Tied at the neck, the print sits close and reads as a single line of colour. Twisted at the wrist, it becomes a cuff. Knotted on a bag handle, it is a flash of pattern against plain leather. Each way of wearing it is really a way of choosing how much of the design to show.

There is no wrong way to tie a carré. There is only the way you have not tried yet.
