Picasso famously said "Every child is an artist." Bring to life your child's favourite artwork and create a custom print scarf for grandma. Or get a portrait of your beloved pet printed on a handmade scarf, with your preferred silk and custom finishes. We can turn your favourite images into wearable art.

Choosing a Size and Shape

  • We recommend reviewing popular sizes and shapes from the drop-down. Prices are also indicated
  • We accept custom size requests. Please message us for this option

Choosing a Type of Silk and Finish
Classic silk scarves are typically made from 100% silk with different textures.
Options include:

  • Silk charmeuse (default): soft, smooth, and lustrous
  • Silk twill: crisp finish and subtle sheen
  • Please note: If you prefer silk twill, there is a minimum order quantity of two scarves. Please message us for this option.

Choosing Machine Stitched Edges or Hand Rolled Edges

  • Select machine stitched edges or hand rolled edges from the drop down
  • Please note: hand-rolled edges take longer to complete

Image Quality

  • We recommend choosing quality, sharp images
  • We accept high-resolution images greater than 150 pixels per inch
  • We accept file formats: JPEG, RGB, and CMYK
  • Please note: image resolution requirements increase if you select a large size scarf 

Image Size 

  • Please scale the image to fit the dimensions of the scarf in the same aspect ratio (length and width proportions)
  • Please extend your image by 0.79 inch (2 cm) on all sides to account for the bleed. Since it may be difficult to print exactly to size, this step is necessary. For example, if you aim to print on a scarf that is 34 inches x 34 inches, the image size must be 34.79 inches x 34.79 inches  
  • If any discrepancy remains, we've got a designer who can resolve any issues for an added fee

Time Frame

  • The process takes approximately one month from the date the details of your order are confirmed to order dispatch
  • Please note: finishes such as hand rolled edges will extend the time frame

Care

  • Due to the delicate nature of our printed scarves, we recommend gentle hand washing only 

Steps:

1. Soak the scarf in a container filled with mild soap and lukewarm water
2. Wash and rinse by gently squeezing the scarf under running water. Do not rub or wring the fabric
3. Hang to dry
4. Steam on the low heat setting 

Packaging

  • We will place your custom scarf in a grey velvet bag

Gifting

  • We will gladly include a handwritten note on your behalf. Select the "add gift message for free" option at check out

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where can I find your size chart?

    We have two types of products: ready-to-ship and custom.

    Ready-to-ship products have their size charts in the images. Usually it's the last image, so please scroll to the end.

    Custom products have "custom" in the product name and are made to order. For custom products, we make each item based on your measurements, so please read the product copy for measurement requests. You could also use our size charts for custom products, in which case please refer to the size chart image.

    How fast do you ship?

    We usually ship in 1-3 business days. That being said, we deal with a lot of wedding orders, PR orders and corporate gifting orders, so we understand the sense of urgency.

    If you need an order to be shipped out asap, please use the chat option on site (if one of our team members is monitoring the site, there's a chat box which allows you to chat with us in real time), email info@softstrokessilk or call 1-647-242-6392.

    How do I take care of my silk?

    Most of our items can be machine washed (put in a laundry mesh bag, wash on the delicate cycle, use gentle detergent and hang to dry), even though hand washing is recommended to maintain the lustre of silk. However, silk scarves are very delicate and can only be hand washed.

    Please read the product copy of the specific item for more details.

    Where are you located? Can I pick up my order/go in to try something on?

    We currently have two pickup locations. One in Liberty Village, Toronto, Ontario; the other one in Markham, Ontario. We don't have storefronts, so these are pickup locations only.

    To book a pickup, please email info@softstrokessilk.com. Products low in inventory may only be available in one of the locations, so let us know the product (item, size, colour, quantity) you are interested in when emailing.

    If you'd like to try something on, we may be able to accommodate you around the Liberty Village area. Please message us for details.
