Product Information
Full details
The Vivienne Westwood Embroidered Orb Long Scarf is designed for the modern adult who values a blend of classic British heritage and contemporary fashion. Its key benefit lies in its premium wool construction, offering exceptional warmth and a sophisticated aesthetic suitable for both formal and casual winter ensembles. One caveat to note is that because this item is crafted from natural wool, it requires specific hand-washing or dry-cleaning care to maintain its structural integrity and texture over time.

FAQs
Is the wool itchy?
The scarf is made from high-quality wool selected for softness; however, sensitivity to wool is personal, and wearing a high-collared shirt underneath can prevent direct contact with the skin if needed.
Can I machine wash this scarf?
No, machine washing is not recommended as the agitation and heat can cause the wool to shrink and the tassels to tangle.
What is the length of the scarf?
The scarf features an elongated silhouette intended to provide ample coverage and wrap-around capability for adults.
How do I identify that the scarf is genuine?
Genuine Vivienne Westwood scarves feature the branded woven label on the reverse and meticulous embroidery of the orb logo.
Does the colour fade easily?
The black dye is durable, but it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight, which can cause natural fibers to fade over many years.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the fabric surface
Gently use a fabric shaver or a dedicated garment comb to remove pills, moving in the direction of the knit.
The scarf has lost its shape after storage
Lightly steam the scarf from a distance to allow the natural fibers to relax, then lay it flat on a clean surface until dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable accessory, there is no technical setup required. This scarf is highly compatible with a wide range of winter attire, including wool coats, denim jackets, and structured blazers. To preserve the quality of the wool:
- Cleaning: Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric structure. If you must hand-wash, use a specialized wool detergent in cool water and lay it flat to dry.
- Storage: Always store the scarf in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use a cedar block in your closet to prevent moth damage.
- De-pilling: If small pills appear over time, use a fabric shaver gently to maintain a smooth surface.
