A scarf can hold more than color. In the Grand Tour Lake Como collection, silk becomes a place to capture gardens, villa details, and the changing light on the lake. The designs come from a textile studio in Nesso with 35 years of history, founded by Davide dell’Acqua and Massimo Riva. Their collection reimagines the idea of a Grand Tour as something you can wear rather than an itinerary you have to follow.
What is Grand Tour Lake Como?
Grand Tour Lake Como is a collection of Italian silk accessories rooted in the region’s visual and cultural heritage. Its scarves, twillies, headbands, and scrunchies carry individual design stories. The silk pieces are made in Italy and sewn and stitched by hand; all scarves are designed and made in Como.
The Villae Silk Scarf depicts four Lake Como villas in watercolor-inspired views: Sola Cabiati, Balbianello, Monastero, and Carlotta. In the Lake Bliss Fresco Silk Scarf, the starting point is different: light moving across the gates, balustrades, and fountains of historic villas. Each gives a distinct way to bring a memory of the lake into an outfit.
Which silk accessory should you choose?
For a classic square, the Como Silk Scarf and Botanica Silk Scarf are both listed at 90 × 90 cm. Botanica takes its cues from the geometry and color of Italian-style gardens. A square scarf can be worn at the neck or tied into the hair, giving the artwork room to show.
For a narrower accent, the Menaggio Silk Twilly measures 6 × 81 cm. Its product page suggests using it on a bag, as a belt accent, or in a hairstyle. If you want the pattern already shaped for your hair, look at the Como Silk Headband or the Lake Bliss Gold Silk Scrunchie.
The Concerto Silk Shawl offers a larger 135 × 135 cm canvas. Its design connects Lake Como with the composers and music associated with the region, giving a different kind of story to tell when someone asks about the print.
How do the pieces work together?
Several designs appear in more than one format, so you can choose a print first and then decide how you will wear it. A scarf makes the design the focus; a twilly or scrunchie adds just a small detail. You do not need a matching set for either approach to work.
