Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk scarf year round?

Your ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk scarf will add flair to all your outfits whatever the season. With a little experience, you will find the style that matches both your attire and the weather. In the winter, your silk scarf will keep your neck warm. In the summer, wear it loosely around your neck, wrapped around a straw hat or turned into a stunning halter top. Many styles, such as a head scarf, a scarf tied around a handbag or a scarf belt are timeless and work in any season. Our complimentary How-to-Wear Guide - which comes with each of our silk twill carrés (square) will give you many more ideas. Also check our Blog, which is full of ideas on how to wear your ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarves and scarf rings! 
                                 

             

What is the benefit of choosing a scarf made of silk?

Silk deserves its nickname “the queen of fabrics.” Thanks to its natural temperature-regulating properties, it is an all-climate fabric. Silk has the amazing ability to be warm and cozy in the winter and to be cool when temperatures rise. Also, silk is a natural fiber known for being the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics. Last but not least, silk feels divine on the skin.

Can I wash my ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk scarf?

Silk is a delicate and expensive fabric. If you decide to wash your silk scarf, please be aware that you are taking a risk: the colors might run and the fabric body and sheen may be rinsed away (this is true with any designer silk scarf). To ensure a long and healthy life for your ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf, we strongly recommend that you dry clean it. Make sure you choose a reputable dry cleaner who will take good care of your scarf. Each ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf is delivered with a care label with care recommendations.

How can I remove the wrinkles on my scarf?

After you have folded, tied and worn it for a while, your silk scarf will naturally get wrinkles. Hanging your scarf overnight will help remove most of them. To remove stubborn wrinkles, you can iron your scarf. Make sure your iron is set on the lowest position. You may also lay a thin dry towel on top of your scarf to prevent scorching. Always iron your silk scarf on its backside. When ironing, do not flatten the hand rolled hems. They are the hallmarks of our craftsmanship and you want your scarf to remain nice and fluffy!

What is the best way to take care of my ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf?

A few steps will ensure that the colors of your ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf remain beautiful for years. Store your scarf away from direct light. Too much direct light will fade colors. Avoid perfume or rain on your scarf. It may cause spotting. Rather than folding your scarf, roll it in order to prevent creasing. If you are storing your silk scarf for long periods of time (which would be sad!), take it out every six months or so to allow air to circulate around the fabric. As all natural fibers, silk needs to breathe.

Can I remove the cleaning care/brand label from my ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf?

Our labels are stitched by hand and therefore they are easy to remove. Make sure you use a pair of scissors with sharp pointed tips – such as a thread scissors. Point your scissors to the label and never towards the scarf or hem, so that you don’t damage your scarf. We also recommend that, once you have removed the label, you keep it and show it to your dry cleaner when you have your scarf dry cleaned.

Is the color of the scarf I ordered exactly the same as the one in the photos?

Though we do our best to have printed documents and website photos as faithful as possible to our scarf colors, there might be a slight difference between printed photos, photos you see on your computer monitor and real scarves.

What is your quality control policy?

At ANNE TOURAINE Paris™, there is no room for random controls and quality remains one of our top priorities. Because we are a luxury brand and because we highly value our customers, we inspect our scarves at each step of their manufacturing and packing process. To ensure customers' full satisfaction, we make sure each scarf meets our highest quality control criteria.

Do you ship internationally?

Please note that our prices do not include any customs duties and other local taxes. Please check this point with your local customs authorities.

Can I pin a brooch on my scarf without damaging it?

Remember that your silk scarf is your Best Friend Forever. Knot it and style it the way you want, yet do not pin a brooch on it. This would alter the fabric. If you want to use a brooch, please choose an appropriate sized one then loop it around your scarf without ever pinning your scarf and eventually pin the brooch on your sweater, blouse or jacket. Et voilà! You can also use a scarf ring or scarf clip to create new styles. See our Blog for related articles and our Scarf Ring Collection.
