Long Silk Scarf

Maison Nazanin - Khusrau and Shirin - 100% Silk Scarf

Named for one of the greatest love stories of Persian literature, Khusrau and Shirin draws on a romance of passion, longing, and devotion immortalised by the 12th Century poet Nezami Ganjavi. Two lovers, often separated yet destined for one another, became enduring symbols of beauty and fidelity in Persian art and poetry. Rich in atmosphere and feeling, the design evokes a world of courtly elegance, moonlit gardens, and timeless desire.

This scarf is soft, fluid, and elegant in drape, allowing it to be styled with ease while bringing colour, narrative, and distinction to the wearer.

• 100% pure Habotai silk
