Avant Toi Laminated Cashmere Scarf in Yak

Avant Toi Avant Toi Laminated Cashmere Scarf in Yak Crafted in Italy from lightweight pure cashmere, this oversized scarf is finished using Avant Toi’s Potala fabrication. Needle-punched detailing and a softly laminated surface create an expressive interplay of texture, muted lustre, and tonal depth. Earthy shades of taupe, stone, chocolate brown, and charcoal give the scarf a naturally distressed, lived-in appearance. Its generous proportions and fluid handle allow it to be wrapped closely around the neck, tied loosely at the front, or draped over the shoulders as a lightweight cashmere wrap.

A: A curated selection is available at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney, and through the Riada Concept online store. Q: Is the Yak colourway made from yak fibre? A: No. Yak is the name of the colourway; the scarf itself is made from 100% cashmere. Q: What does laminated cashmere feel like? A: The cashmere remains lightweight and soft, while the surface treatment adds subtle structure, texture, and a muted sheen. Q: What is needle punching? A: Needle punching is a textile technique that interlocks and distresses fibres to create an irregular, tactile surface rather than a perfectly uniform finish. Q: Are the tonal variations intentional? A: Yes. The uneven colour, surface texture, and distressed appearance are deliberate features of the Potala fabrication. Q: How should I care for this cashmere scarf? A: Follow the specialist instructions on the care label and avoid rubbing, snagging, or prolonged moisture to protect the treated surface.
