Where can I buy luxury silk scarves made in Italy?
You can buy Clù art-as-scarves directly from our online boutique, byclu.com. Each piece is designed by artist Claudia Palmira and crafted in Italy from 100% pure silk.
What makes Clù scarves unique compared to other silk scarves?
Clù scarves are wearable art. Each design is created by artist Claudia Palmira, produced in limited runs, and handcrafted in Italy using fine silk. They are both fashion accessories and collectible art pieces.
How are the scarves made?
Our scarves feature original designs by our artist, printed on 100% silk using non-reactive inks. Each scarf is then meticulously sewn with an overlock hem for a flawless finish.
Why are Clù scarves silk instead of satin?
While silk and satin share a similar glossy aesthetic, they are fundamentally different in both composition and performance. Satin is actually a weaving technique rather than a fiber; it is typically crafted from synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, which results in a fabric that lacks breathability and is prone to snagging. In contrast, 100% pure silk is a natural, protein-based textile that offers a double-sided luster and superior elasticity. Beyond its soft touch, silk is isothermal, meaning it naturally regulates body temperature to keep you comfortable in any climate. It is also moisture-absorbent and hypoallergenic, making it the ideal choice for sensitive skin and a far more durable investment than its synthetic counterparts.
Clù works exclusively with silk because its timeless quality perfectly mirrors the artistic depth of our designs. While satin offers a more affordable "silk look," it cannot replicate the antibacterial benefits or the iconic, fluid drape of genuine silk against the skin. We believe that when you wear a Clù piece, you should experience the vibrating, ageless elegance of a natural fiber that breathes with you. By choosing silk over synthetic blends, we ensure that every scarf and wrap provides a sensory experience of pure, uncompromising luxury.
