What is a Jacquemus scarf?

Jacquemus is the French house Simon Porte Jacquemus founded in Paris in 2009, named for his mother, Valérie. The label is best known for sculptural minimalism, exaggerated proportion and the light of Provence, and its winter scarves carry that thinking into knitwear. They are long, plain in colour and finished with a fringe, and almost every one carries a quiet logo: a jacquard wordmark, a 1950s style signature, a grosgrain label.

The search term travels well. Shoppers look for an écharpe Jacquemus in France, a Jacquemus Schal in Germany, a sciarpa in Italy and a sjaal in the Netherlands, and the house itself writes the French name as l’écharpe. Whichever word you type, the pieces are the same: solid yarn, a fringed end and a length that wraps at least twice. For the background on the house, read our profile of who Jacquemus is, and if you are unsure how to say the name in the shop, our guide on how to pronounce Jacquemus settles it.

Every Jacquemus scarf model compared

The six Jacquemus scarf models in detail

The Jacquemus Scarf

The house name on a plain wool knit is the model most people mean when they search for a Jacquemus scarf. It is 180 x 35 cm with a 12 cm fringe at each end and a jacquard logo worked into the knit. The Jacquemus Scarf in Taupe and the Jacquemus Scarf in Khaki are labelled 100% virgin wool, while the Jacquemus Scarf in Black and the Jacquemus Scarf in Multi Brown, which has a contrast jacquard logo, are labelled 100% wool. At $440 it is the entry point to the range.

The Atelier Scarf

The Atelier is the slim, long option: 28 cm wide with a 10 cm fringe and a 1950s style JACQUEMUS logo. It comes in two builds. The Atelier Scarf in Light Beige and the Atelier Scarf in Navy are 100% virgin wool and 240 cm long including the fringe. The Atelier Scarf in Burgundy Herringbone and the Atelier Scarf in Brown switch to 80% alpaca with 20% polyamide and measure 220 x 28 cm. The narrow width means less bulk at the neck under a fitted coat.

The Carro Scarf

The Carro is the big one. At 251 x 40 cm with a 17 cm fringe it is the longest scarf in the edit, and its fluffy mohair and alpaca knit gives it real loft. The Carro Scarf in Off-White and the Carro Scarf in Brown list 28% mohair, 28% alpaca wool, 24% virgin wool and 20% polyamide. The Carro Scarf in Taupe is described as the same mohair and alpaca knit, though its label reads 100% virgin wool, so check the composition on the product page if fibre matters to you. It costs $530 at Coveti.

The Tailleur Scarf

Tailleur is the French word for a tailored suit, and this is the model to wear with a coat that has shoulders. It is the widest scarf in the range at 45 cm, 208 cm long, with only a fine 1 cm fringe so the line stays clean. The product details describe a long fluffy wool and cashmere knit with an embroidered logo, while the composition label lists 100% wool. The Tailleur Scarf in Beige and the Tailleur Scarf in Dark Grey are both $530.

The Citta Scarf

The Citta is the softest piece here: 80% cashmere and 20% merino wool, 180 x 35 cm with a 12 cm fringe. It carries two logos, the Jacquemus wordmark and the 1950s signature “J”, in a contrasting yarn. At $440 it costs the same as the wool Jacquemus Scarf, which makes it the strongest value in the edit by fibre. Choose the Citta Scarf in Beige, the Citta Scarf in Brown and the Citta Scarf in Black.

The Cavallo Scarf

The Cavallo is a 100% wool scarf at 180 x 44 cm, so it is wider than the classic model without the extra length. It has a 10 cm fringe and two labels, a season label and a JACQUEMUS label. The colour range is the brightest in the edit: the Cavallo Scarf in Pale Yellow and the Cavallo Scarf in Red sit beside a Beige. It is $450 at Coveti, and it pairs with the matching Cavallo beret and cap covered in our Jacquemus hats guide.

Which Jacquemus scarf is the warmest?

Warmth comes from three things: fibre, loft and how much fabric you can wrap. On all three the Carro wins. Its mohair and alpaca knit traps air, and at 251 x 40 cm it has roughly one square metre of knit, close to 60% more than the 180 x 35 cm Jacquemus Scarf. The Tailleur comes second at 208 x 45 cm, also in a fluffy knit, and its width means it can be folded double across the chest.

For softness against the skin, the Citta is the pick. Cashmere is lighter than wool for the warmth it gives, so the Citta feels finer at the same 180 x 35 cm size. The Atelier is the least bulky option, best for milder days and for layering under a coat collar. The Cavallo sits in the middle: a plain wool, with its 44 cm width adding cover at the neck.

How to tie and wear a Jacquemus scarf

The length of these scarves gives you room. A few ways we style them:

• The Parisian loop. Fold the scarf in half, put it round your neck and pull both ends through the loop. This suits the 180 cm models, the Jacquemus Scarf, Citta and Cavallo, and keeps the jacquard logo visible.
• The double wrap. Wrap the scarf round the neck twice and let the fringed ends fall at the front. The 240 cm Atelier and the 251 cm Carro have the length to do this and still hang to the waist.
• The shoulder throw. Wrap once and throw one end over the opposite shoulder. The Carro and Tailleur look generous worn like this over a long coat.
• The flat drape. Lay the Tailleur open across the shoulders like a stole and belt the coat over it. Its 45 cm width and short fringe make it the cleanest option.
• Tucked in. Cross the ends at the chest and button a jacket over them. The narrow Atelier sits flattest here.

Colour matters as much as the knot. The neutral Taupe, Beige and Grey colourways sit with camel and charcoal coats, while the Cavallo in Red and Pale Yellow give a navy coat a lift. For full looks, see how to style Jacquemus and the coats in our Jacquemus coats and jackets guide. If you want the knit to match, the Jacquemus knitwear guide covers the sweaters and cardigans.

How to care for a Jacquemus scarf

Most of the range follows the same routine. For the Jacquemus Scarf, Carro, Tailleur and Cavallo, hand wash cool, then dry flat; fold it, never hang it, because a wet knit stretches under its own weight. The cashmere Citta takes a cool hand wash and a flat dry away from heat. For the alpaca Atelier colourways, store the scarf in its pouch away from direct light and follow the care label.

Some practical points apply to every model. Use a wool detergent, press the water out in a towel instead of wringing, and comb the fringe straight while it is damp. Mohair and alpaca can shed a little in the first weeks, which settles with wear. Between seasons, store the scarf folded in a breathable bag with cedar to keep moths off.

How the Jacquemus scarf compares with other designer scarves

Within the Coveti scarves edit, the Jacquemus scarf sits at a clear price point: $440 to $530 for an Italian made, fringed knit. The logo is part of the appeal but stays small, a jacquard wordmark, a label, a stitched signature, so it reads quieter than a monogram print. If you like that restraint, the house shares ground with Totême and Khaite, and our list of brands like Jacquemus goes further. Browse all designer scarves and the wider women’s accessories edit to compare. A scarf is also one of the easiest Jacquemus pieces to give, as our Jacquemus gift guide explains, since it is one size.
