The Making
Drawn by hand. Printed and finished by artisans.
Process
From drawing to silk
Ink, brush, gouache. A reference, a fragment, a found mark. Nothing digital.
Layer over layer, until the motif feels certain — not finished, but inevitable.
Colour trials. Scale trials. The painting is broken into separations, each colour pulled as its own plate.
Each colour a separate pass, pulled slowly, by hand. Edges sharp. Density honest.
Mainline — Como
Printed around Lake Como.
The Myklé mainline is printed in a handful of family-run ateliers around Lake Como — houses that have served the great Parisian collections for a century. Small runs. Hand pulls. Every colour a separate plate.
The ateliers do not advertise. They do not need to.
Details
What makes a Myklé
- Double-sided print.
The reverse is not a shadow of the front — it is printed with the same care. Wear either side.
- Hand-rolled edge.
Every edge is rolled by a single pair of hands. No machine.
- Contrast colour at the border.
A thin line of another colour around the perimeter. Barely visible, fully intentional. It is how you know.
These are not specifications. They are the slow parts — the hours you cannot see, that you can only feel once the scarf is around your neck.
