St James's Swan – Double-Sided 70% Wool 30% Silk Scarf

St James's Swan is an elegant double-sided wool and silk square scarf with a richly illustrated, story-like character.

One side brings together graceful swans, architectural imagery and finely drawn decorative details against a soft ivory and navy palette. The reverse introduces a more graphic expression, combining a navy-and-ivory houndstooth-style pattern with ornamental framing.

A distinctive border runs around the square, incorporating small ivory stars against navy for a decorative finish that becomes particularly striking when the scarf is folded or tied.

The double-sided construction allows different parts of the illustration and geometric pattern to emerge with each styling, giving the same scarf a subtly different character depending on how it is worn.

Made from 70% wool and 30% silk, St James's Swan balances the natural warmth and structure of wool with the smooth softness and subtle lustre of silk. Its lightweight construction creates an easy, natural drape without unnecessary bulk.

At 65 × 65 cm, it is particularly versatile as a neck scarf, folded neckerchief or decorative handbag accent.

Classic Neck Scarf

Fold the square diagonally and tie it loosely around the neck, allowing the delicate bee motif and decorative border to frame the neckline.

Double-Sided Styling

Reveal more of the midnight navy side for a cooler, understated look, or turn the scarf to highlight the warm chocolate-brown reverse.

Heritage Neckerchief

Roll the scarf into a narrower shape and tie it close to the neck with a shirt, blazer or fine knit.

Triangle Front

Fold it into a triangle and position the point at the front for a relaxed silhouette that keeps the bee pattern visible.

With Tailoring

Pair the navy side with charcoal, navy, cream or camel tailoring for a polished city look.

With Autumn Knitwear

The chocolate-brown reverse works beautifully with camel, oatmeal, cream and warm neutral knitwear.

Under a Coat
