FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Where does the word "Ostinato" originate?




What do Grande, Mezzo
and Piccolo mean?

Ostinato, comes from the Italian word "obstinate" meaning obstinate or persistent. In music, ostinato is a short melodic phrase or rhythm pattern that is repeated throughout the composition.

Each scarf pattern starts with a single photographic image. The image is adjusted and repeated to create a custom design template. This custom template is replicated across the width and length of the fabric. When seen at a distance, the overall pattern is perceived. When seen up close, the details and colors in the pattern can be isolated. 

These terms refer to the sizes of the scarves. As we add new designs to the collection, we are also adding different sizes. Many of our customers have requested smaller scarves and we are happy to share these new sizes with you. GRANDE is the original collection of large scarves. MEZZO is a new collection of medium sized scarves. PICCOLO will showcase a new line of designs, such as twillies and pocket squares.


What is a limited edition?

Limited edition is a term that is used to describe an issue of something collectible (such as scarves, pictures, or books) that is restricted to a limited number of copies. Each of these scarf designs have an edition of one hundred. Each design has two sizes with an edition of fifty per size. When the edition is sold out, that scarf design will be retired and no further copies of that particular design will be made. 

What fabrics are used?

All scarves are printed on 100% silk. The design studio is exploring other silks and silk blends. Stay tuned for updates.

How soon can I expect my order?

The delivery time will depend primarily on two factors: item availability and shipping service. If the scarf is in stock, the average order will arrive within 5-7 business days. This can change depending on the shipping service you choose. The studio works to keep all the designs in stock, however, sometimes during the holiday season that is not possible. If the scarf is not in stock, the scarf can take up 4-6 weeks.
