When it comes to choosing a silk scarf, the type of silk matters. One of the most sought-after fabrics in the world of fashion and luxury accessories is silk twill... and for good reason.
From its rich texture to its unmatched durability, silk twill offers everything you could want in a statement scarf: softness, structure, and timeless sophistication.
What Is Silk Twill?
Silk twill is a type of weave that blends the smoothness of silk with a subtle diagonal rib pattern (called a twill weave). This creates a fabric that drapes beautifully, feels soft to the touch, and holds its shape better than plain silk.
It’s the same silk used by iconic fashion houses like Hermès, Chanel, Dior, and Salvatore Ferragamo, who rely on its structure and elegance to bring their signature scarf prints to life.
At TAMARA, all of our scarves are made from 100% silk twill, sourced and printed in Como, Italy, the global capital of silk production.
Why Choose Silk Twill Over Other Types of Silk?
Not all silks are created equal. While charmeuse, chiffon, and crepe de chine each have their appeal, silk twill stands out in a few key ways:
Durability: The twill weave makes it stronger and less prone to snags.
Luxe Finish: It has a subtle sheen (not too glossy, just elegant!).
Shape Retention: It holds its fold or drape, making it ideal for scarves and accessories.
Print Clarity: Colors appear rich and vibrant — perfect for TAMARA’s bold, detailed designs.

Silk Twill in Every Season
One of the most underrated benefits of silk twill is its versatility. It’s breathable in the summer, yet offers warmth and structure in the colder months. You can style it around your neck, hair, or handbag year-round... and always feel elevated!
Why We Love It at TAMARA
When TAMARA was born, we knew we wanted a material that felt substantial and soft, while doing justice to the bold prints and stories behind each design. That’s why we chose silk twill from day one and partnered with expert printers in Como who’ve worked with silk for generations.
The result? A scarf that isn’t just beautiful; it’s built to last, and to be worn your way.
