Colour
We collect vintage scarves in all kinds of colours,
making it possible for everyone to find their favourites.
The first colour that is mentioned is usually the main one (base colour).

Origin
Most of our scarves are made in Japan or Italy - two countries that both usually means great quality.
However our scarves comes from all over the world, such as Holland or Korea.

The scarves are usually collected within Sweden or Scandinavia,
however we also collect scarves during many of our travels.

Sometimes when the scarf doesn't come with a tag,
the origin is unknown.

Material
Graceful Squares love scarves of all different kinds of materials!
Be it silk, cotton or polyester.

Silk is a very luxurious fabric - but at the same time very delicate and needs to be handled with care.
Cotton and synthetic materials such as polyester are usually much stronger and durable,
and many of them have great quality, with a very soft and silky touch.

Care
We always recommend our customers to either dry clean,
or hand wash their scarves in cool water, regardless of materials.
Be careful when handling the scarves - no long nails or big rings when putting on the scarves!

Silk
Silk scarves should not be used during rainy or snowy days.
The silk scarves should always be dry cleaned.

Cotton and synthetics
Some of these scarves are OK with machine wash,
using the hand wash or 30℃ program.

However, we recommend hand washing the scarves in cool water,
drip drying flat!

Staff picks
Staff picks are scarves that has been especially chosen by our staff!
These are items that are so lovely we'd prefer to keep in our own closets,
but are kind enough to share them with you!

Environmental & Social Responsibility
Graceful Squares strive to include both environmental and social responsibility during every step we make.
Buying vintage is more sustainable compared to buying new products.

When you buy vintage it’s not manufactured for you ‘new’ so it eliminates the environmental impact of production and the carbon emissions to ship it to a store near you.  Even vintage accessories are available like jewelry, shoes and handbags which are both fashionable and sustainable.  Vintage items are also considered a collectible that often have high resale value.  Many of today’s fashion designers gain inspiration from vintage outfits.

Vintage clothes also promote individuality because they are so unique.  Plus, they are higher quality and were not mass-produced at factories like today’s clothes are made.  You benefit because most vintage pieces you’ll see involve a much greater attention to detail in textiles, patterns, textures, stitching, buttons and other creative flourishes.  It’s one-of-a-kind versus something available to the public at multiple retail chains.  You’ll never get caught wearing what someone else has with this green tip, just shop vintage. Consider your vintage clothes an investment.

As time passes these garments often increase in value.  If you decide it’s time to ‘throw away’ some older clothes – take them to a local shelter or Goodwill instead.  This green tip is a perfect step towards a sustainable lifestyle, so go green and wear vintage.
