A scarf brand made by people who actually wore them out.
DRAPED UP started in 2024, in Mumbai, in the kind of monsoon week where every printed silk square in our closets pilled at the edges and the dye started bleeding onto our shirts. We'd been buying scarves from department stores and the airport for a decade — they all looked beautiful, and they were all polyester pretending to be silk.
We tracked down a workshop in Bengaluru that prints on real 16-momme mulberry twill, and a family-run weaving collective in the Kullu valley for pashmina. Then we limited each design to a few hundred pieces. That's the whole story. The website is small, the collection is small, and the price reflects an actual scarf rather than a polyester one with a designer print.
If you wear it well, you'll have it for ten years.
Shop the collectionReal silk, real weight
16-momme mulberry silk twill, the same weight you'll find at storied European houses. Heavier than the printed polyester equivalents.
Hand-rolled hems
Every edge is hand-rolled and stitched. It takes longer, holds shape forever, and is the giveaway of a scarf made carefully.
Limited runs
A few hundred of each design. When they're gone, they're gone — we don't restock or markdown. We move on to the next archive print.
