Shawls, Wraps & Scarves

Tartan shawls, wraps and stoles worn over the shoulders rather than around the neck. Wider than a scarf and cut for formal Highland dress or for warmth over a coat. A wrap carries no convention about which shoulder or how it is worn, which is the practical difference from a sash. Pin it with a brooch if you want it to stay put through an evening rather than relying on the drape. Width decides the use. A stole is a long narrow rectangle worn draped over both shoulders. A wrap is wider and can be pulled around the upper body. A shawl is wider again and often square or triangular. For most people a full wrap runs around 70 by 190 centimetres. Pin it with a brooch rather than relying on the drape, which is what people actually do at events.

About this collection

Tartan Shawls, Wraps and Stoles

The difference between a wrap and a sash is convention rather than cloth. A sash is narrow, goes over one shoulder and carries rules about which side. A wrap sits across both shoulders and carries none, which makes it the easier choice for anyone who does not want to think about it.

Width decides the use. A stole is a long narrow rectangle and drapes. A wrap is wider and can be pulled around the upper body. A shawl is wider again. All three work over an outfit already chosen, which is why they suit weddings where the outfit is settled.

Pin it. A brooch at the shoulder through both the wrap and the garment beneath holds it far better than any arrangement of folds, and it is what people actually do at events rather than constantly adjusting the drape.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a wrap, a stole and a shawl?

Width, mainly. A stole is a long narrow rectangle worn draped over both shoulders. A wrap is wider and can be pulled around the upper body. A shawl is wider again and often square or triangular. All three sit over the shoulders rather than around the neck like a scarf.

Wrap or a sash for a formal Highland occasion?

A sash is the traditional formal piece, worn over one shoulder and pinned with a brooch. A wrap is the less formal alternative and carries no convention about which shoulder or how it is worn. For a Highland ball or a formal wedding, take the sash.

How do you wear a tartan wrap without it slipping?

Pin it. A brooch at the shoulder through both the wrap and the garment beneath holds it far better than any arrangement of folds, and it is what people actually do at events. Draping alone works for a photograph and not for an evening of moving around.

What size wrap do I need?

Wide enough to cover both shoulders with the ends falling to at least waist level, which for most people means somewhere around 70 by 190 centimetres for a full wrap. Stoles are narrower. Sizes are listed on each product page, so check against a scarf you already own.

How do I store and wash one?

Fold and store flat rather than hanging, since hanging a large piece of cloth from one edge pulls it out of shape over months. Hand wash cool, never wring, and dry flat. Comb the fringe straight with your fingers while damp rather than brushing it once dry.

What size should a wrap be?

Wide enough to cover both shoulders with the ends falling to at least waist level, which for most people means around 70 by 190 centimetres. Stoles are narrower. Check dimensions on each product page.
