Bespoke Silk Scarves,

Designed by You

From our Green Point, Cape Town studio, we create custom printed silk scarves, from an intimate run of two pieces to a full branded corporate collection.


Clients commission us for promotional gifts, event and team scarves, gallery editions, and personal designs.


Every piece is digitally printed on premium silk, proofed on fabric before the final run, and finished with care.


Tell us about your project. Share the details, and we will return with fabric and size options, pricing, and a production timeline.

How a Bespoke Silk Scarf Becomes an Heirloom

  1. The consultation

    Visit our Cape Town studio and choose your silk by hand. We will take you through weight and weave, from the fluid drape of silk chiffon to the lustre of 22mm silk satin. Bespoke weights run from 16mm to 30mm.

  2. Your artwork, prepared for print

    Send us your file as AI, PDF, PSD or JPG at a minimum of 300 dpi. For colour we need a Pantone TPX code, or a CMYK or RGB breakdown. 

    We do have a Pantone book if you need to review colours. 

    We will then prepare your file for printing so that fine detail and colour gradients hold on silk.

  3. The proof

    Before production we print a strike off, a sample piece of your print on your chosen silk, for you to approve before we start. 

    For dyed silk we prepare a lab dip instead, a small dyed swatch for colour sign off.

    ***Strike-Off Disclaimer: A digitally printed strike-off sample is required for colour and print approval prior to production. Should the client choose to proceed without an approved strike-off, For the Love of Silk ( TA Yasmin Barsch Pty Ltd ) accepts no liability for any discrepancies in colour or print between the original artwork and the final product, to the extent permitted by law.

  4. The finish

    Choose a machine rolled hem for a clean, modern edge, or a hand rolled hem stitched the traditional way. 

    Every scarf is finished by hand in house.

When the drop departed from its native home and returned, it found a shell and became a pearl.

Rumi, translated by R. A. Nicholson, 1898

Zeitz MOCAA Shop

Mariel Kaplan, Buyer I searched long and hard for about a year to find the right person to print silk scarves for our 110m² shop at the Zeitz MOCAA shop in the Silo District. Yasmin always did her best to ensure we had the best size, price and quality for the artwork we were printing from. She took care in every detail and ensured we never went forward without the artist, client and us (the buyer) being happy. Artists, rightly so, are very particular about their artworks being depicted accurately, we have been able to do that with Yasmin’s expertise. As a buyer we always appreciate a supplier who goes the extra mile and Yasmin does. I can highly recommend her.
