4 Ways to Tie Your (Maxi) Bow Tie

4 ways to tie your (Maxi) Silk Ribbon Scarf

Lavallines and Maxi Lavallines: the Petitjean Paris silk square revisited.

At Petitjean Paris, each silk scarf is designed as a wearable work of art. Our Lavallines and Maxi Lavallines are much more than simple accessories: they are pieces of character, designed to be reinvented every day.

✨ What is a Petitjean Paris Lavalline?

The Lavalline is the elongated version of the silk scarf, halfway between a tie and a scarf. Thin, fluid, and versatile, it can be worn around the neck, as a bag accessory, or as a headband.

The Maxi Lavalline, on the other hand, uses the same format but in a more generous version, for more volume and creativity in tying.
