What Is the Difference Between a Scarf and a Stole?
A stole is a long, rectangular wrap, usually worn over the shoulders or draped with ethnic wear. A scarf is generally smaller or square and tied at the neck, the hair, or a bag handle. This collection carries both, from 100 x 100 cm silk squares to full-length jamawar stoles.

Over a kurta or suit: drape a silk jamawar stole over one shoulder in place of a dupatta, or pair it with our embroidered suits for women.
-
With a two piece: let a printed stole add colour to our co-ord sets for women.
-
For winter warmth: wrap a kaani or zari wool stole twice around the neck, or add one of our capes for women on colder days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a scarf and a stole?
A stole is a long rectangular wrap worn over the shoulders, often with ethnic wear. A scarf is usually smaller or square and tied at the neck, in the hair or on a bag.
What is a jamawar stole?
A jamawar stole carries intricate paisley and floral motifs inspired by the jamawar weaving tradition of Kashmir. Ours are made in silk and silk modal for weddings and festive wear. Learn more in our guide to what a jamawar shawl is.
Which stole is best for winter?
Fine wool and wool silk stoles, such as our kaani and zari designs, give warmth without bulk. For colder days, step up to a pashmina or a full shawl.

What size are your silk squares?
Our silk satin squares measure 100 x 100 cm, large enough to tie at the neck, wear in the hair or knot onto a bag.
How do I care for a silk or wool stole?
Most of our scarves and stoles for women are dry clean only. Store them folded in a breathable cover, away from direct sunlight, and avoid hanging heavy embroidered pieces for long periods.
