The fabric says it all...

Scarves are made from a variety of fabrics ranging from cotton to wool to silk to polyester to rayon to even certain polyblends. Cotton scarves are relatively cheaper and are easy to clean and maintain. Additionally, cotton is a fabric that can be used right through the year in all climates. Woolen scarves are soft on the skin and are ideal for use in cold seasons. These scarves are created either with natural or artificial wool. Polyester scarves are resistant to creases and are made from durable and light resins. Polyester is also quick drying. Rayon is a synthetic fiber that is very similar in texture to silk and being light in weight can be used just about anywhere.

By far, down the years as compared to the other fabrics, silk has always been a favorite with scarf manufacturers across the world, one of them being Belisi Fashions. A reason for this is that silk has a characteristic sheen, due to a high light reflective ability, that is retained for years. Additionally, silk does not require excessive maintenance and can be easily cleaned and ironed. Silk is also reputed to be one of the most resilient natural fibers, stronger even than a thread made of steel and also resistant to mold growth. Being a very porous fabric, silk can absorb moisture; this capability makes it suitable for wearing in all seasons.  Silk takes on any dyes, a unique feature of the material being that the design rendered to the silk scarf has equal visibility on both sides of the cloth. Belisi silk scarves sport just about any design, ranging from paisley to floral prints to geometric shapes to even abstract art. Designer silk scarves and silk head scarves are much in demand by discerning clientele.

As far as bandanas are concerned, since these scarves are required to double up as handkerchiefs, these clothing accessories are usually made of cotton. Cotton materials are also soft on the skin and easily washable. Some bandanas are made of microfiber mesh. Bandanas may be embellished with ‘PowderDry’ fabrics that help in dissipation of the moisture. In cold countries, ‘Babushkah’ bandanas are popular that are made of high density polar fleece. Sometimes, these scarves have polar fleece on one side and some other lighter fabric on the other side. Flannel bandanas are equally popular.

Higher-end scarves are made from superior but comfy materials such as pashmina, cashmere, chenille, velvet, georgette, or angora. Pashmina is usually made from the fur on the undercoat of a certain breed of goat mostly found in the Himalayas. Sometimes pashmina is mixed with silk, to overcome availability constraints, reduce cost, and also to render the pashmina scarf or shawl with more strength. Generally, cashmere refers to pure pashmina and is regarded as the ultimate in luxurious scarves.

Belisi silk scarves are made with attention to quality and durability, with normal small and medium sized silk scarves being available alongside long silk scarves and hip scarves.
