During the next phase, the silk fabrics pass several times in a halo of steam, then are washed in successive tubs, until obtaining the ideal appearance and feel. Once cut by hand, the squares receive their final finishes, frayed or rolled up. Infinitely meticulous gestures, expressions of a very particular attention to the art of detail which makes the refinement of Dior scarves.
