The Beauty Of A Corneila James Scarf

The Silks Elegance

A Scarf – A Touch Of Elegance. What is elegance? Elegance is the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance and manner.

A scarf adds a sense of elegance to an outfit. It elevates your sense of style and in some ways allows a person to move and act in a certain way. Beauty Life Moments showcases the beauty of silk squares.

A SCARF – AUSTRALIAN SILKS

Though Australia’s textile heritage is wool, and cotton Australian designers understand the value of a silk scarf as a beautiful accessory. Australian women have a relaxed approach to the treatment of scarves. There is nothing better to create a style statement with a scarf on a windswept beach, or for some poolside glamour. Drap over a handbag handle to create mid-century accessory style appeal, or as a textile bracelet wrapped on the wrist.

TWO ICONIC + ONE EMERGING LABEL

Oroton since 1938 has held a belief in craftsmanship, accessible luxury and a unique Australian sense of style. It is through its collections of fabrics that you will find a silk scarf handmade and finished in Italy.

The Aerohart Scarf – wear it as a necktie or simply tie to the shoulder strap of your Aerohart Flight Bag.

I take inspiration from how French, Italian and British women use a scarf in their everyday lives. It is something inherent in themselves that they have known all of their lives.

Italian women understand the art of the scarf.
