Made to order with the utmost care and precision. When you make your own scarf with Contrado, you will be working with us to create a beautiful, handmade piece, completely unique to you.

Please note: As all of our scarves are handmade to order, there will be some variance in the dimensions of the scarf. A predictable amount of shrinkage is likely to occur, this is normal and to be expected, and will be more apparent in the natural fabrics.

  • 35.43in x 35.43in (90 x 90cm)
  • 53.15in x 12.20in (135 x 31cm)

  • 5 fabric options
  • Square or long scarves
  • Natural and man-made fabrics
  • Edge to edge printing
  • Printed on one side
  • Natural color on the reverse
  • Tailor made scarves

Care: 
Natural - Real Silk Satin (2.51oz), Silk Georgette (1.47oz). For our natural fabrics, we recommend dry cleaning only. 
Man-made (poly) - Silk Sensation (2.65oz), Paris Chiffon (1.18oz), Mulmul Muslin (1.62oz). For our poly fabrics, we recommend using a delicate or cold wash to ensure the longevity of the scarf. 

We offer 2 hem types for your scarf. Baby hem uses 0.31oz of material on each side, folded twice then a top stitch approximately 0.08oz-0.12oz from the edge. The 3 thread overlock trims off 0.12oz fabric and has an overlock edge stitch.

Please note: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric, some pulls are to be expected and this is not out of the ordinary. Due to the loose yarn of the fabric, the shape of your design may vary slightly. This will not impact the outstanding quality of your Mulmul Muslin fabric and will give every print its own unique charm.

Silk Sensation Fabric Icon

Silk Sensation

A smooth silk alternative fabric, which allows a bit of light to pass through it. This is a strong and durable silk like fabric, with some stretch and a gorgeous drape. Printing on Silk Sensation showcases colors well. Detail shows very well and prints are complemented by the natural movement of the fabric.

Real Silk Satin Fabric option Icon

Real Silk Satin

Make a real silk scarf with this 100% natural silk fabric. Lightweight with a beautiful satin weave, this feminine and elegant fabric has a crepe like finish and the most gorgeous drape. Prints will be rich. There will be limited show through of your print to the other side of the fabric.

Paris Chiffon Fabric Option Icon

Paris Chiffon

This fabric is ideal for making pretty chiffon scarves. Soft, silky and fine, this fabric is sheer and light and will allow your customized scarf to drape and flow in a feminine and fluid manner. This chiffon fabric is somewhat transparent, with a subtle base tone, which creates a strong contrast to the color spectrum.
Start Design

Real Silk Georgette Fabric Icon

Real Silk Georgette

One of our 100% natural silk fabrics, this pretty woven fabric has a gossamer appearance due to its very fine threads. This is a lovely fabric to make your own scarf with. The custom made silk is highly transparent though your prints will have an intense finish.

mulmul muslin

Mulmul Soft Muslin

A super soft muslin fabric with all of the lightness and softness of cotton, but with a lot more durability. This fabric is lightweight and transparent yet strong and shows bright colours very well. Mulmul has a naturally loose yarn, which can help give designs a slight rustic aesthetic. Because of the naturally loose yarns, there are slight colour and intensity variations in the fabric, especially in parts where the thread is looser.

Great product! This was a going away gift for a co-worker. I ordered a Paris Chiffon Scarf with the rolled hem. I had several colleagues help with the design and sign their work, and then had it printed as a scarf. It came out beautifully! She was very pleased at the gift, and I was pleasantly surprised by the superior quality!

More amazing than I anticipated Shipping was fast, product came unharmed, very high quality print, and amazing quality overall. What I anticipated to be a one time order turned into me creating an account because I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the product.

quick First I was confused as I was awaiting a proof, got an email apologizing for a delay and the next day the finished scarf arrived. A perfect reproduction of the design but I was surprised by the lack of substance to the scarf. Shouldn't gotten out a tape measure too, to see what it would look like as I was surprised at how small and lightweight it seemed - thought maybe it was the proof version. But it's fine. My daughter will be surprised to see her design in scarf form. It was a very fast turnaround I can say!

Frequently asked questions:

What shapes of bespoke scarves are available?

How to wear a scarf really does depend on the shape. Because of this, we have created 4 totally wearable styles of custom made scarves for our diverse customers. Our designer scarves can be made into the following shapes: standard square, large square, wrap scarf or shawl and rectangle scarf. If you would like to see examples of each of these styles, please click through to the preview page.

Do you have warmer scarves available for winter?

As well as our Custom Scarves, which come in 5 lightweight and drapey fabrics, we also make several other, slightly thicker personalized scarves, which would be suitable for colder weather. Our Custom Fleece Scarf is handmade from 2 layers of custom printed fleece and our beautiful Custom Cashmere Scarf is an utterly luxurious and very cozy version, which is sheer indulgence.

Are there hemming options available for the scarves?

When you design your own scarf with Contrado, you have the option of choosing from white or black thread. Our exclusive scarves are finished and hemmed by hand in our studio by a team of specialist sewers. Due to the delicate nature and the natural slippage of these beautiful fabrics, hems can be slightly wavy. However, we believe this adds to the unique qualities of the customized scarf.

Print Guideline

  • DPI-Print Guideline Icon

    What's the best resolution to print in?

    We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change color using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.

  • DPI-Print Guideline Icon

    How will my image scale?

    When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.

  • RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon

    Which color model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

    We advise providing images in the RGB color space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best color results. What does this mean? In your editing software, choose RGB as the working space and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)

  • Print-Roll Length Fabric Guide Icon

    Maximum dimensions

    For most of our fabrics there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10 yds max to visualize the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20 yds or x4 for 40 yds for e.g.) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.

  • Borders-Print Guideline Icon

    Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?

    Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 0.2" white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.

  • Crocking

    What is crocking and why might it occur?

    Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colors are used. It can be minimized by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.

  • organics-Print Guideline Icon

    Why do the colors appear lighter on organic fabrics?

    Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibers, reducing the color strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colors we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.

  • Transfer-Print Guideline Icon

    Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?

    Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation transfer paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.

  • Jpeg-Tiff Print Guideline Icon

    Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

    For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colors and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.

  • Shrinkage-Print Guideline Icon

    What is the situation with material shrinkage?

    Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary from print run to print run and between fabrics, so we would advise to order a little more material than you require for your project.

  • Print-Both Sides Print Guideline Icon

    Can I print on both sides of the fabric?

    We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.

  • Labels-Print Guideline Icon

    Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?

    At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.

  • Eco friendly Printing

    How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

    With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.

  • Color Differences

    Why are there slight color differences between my orders?

    We work at improving our color profiles all the time. Though rare, it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight color differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such color variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.




Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

Hemming Options ICON

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

  • Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
  • Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
  • Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

We have four finishing options for your fabric order: 
  • As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
  • Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
  • Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.
