I love silk, colors and Czech illustration
I am a "daydreamer"
I love Stories. Particularly those with happy endings.
I like arts and especially illustrations.
I am a fan of Czech fashion.
I am fascinated by silk.
Conjunction of all these interests gave birth to ‚Silky Gang‘ brand.
Why Silky?
Because sometimes, life is as soft as silk.
And why Gang?
Because it can often be quite rough.
Just like in fairy tales, myths and stories.
Their heroes always have to overcome many difficulties before they get their ‚all’s well that ends well, and they lived happily ever after‘.
And so, allow me to present you with limited collections of our silk scarves. I asked illustrators whose work I enjoy, picked from classical Czech fairy tales those stories that seemed interesting to me, created a colour scale for our scarves that not only look good, but go well with any skin type and observed the birth of new, original illustration.
Creation of every motive took almost eight weeks. We designed them so even when folded, part of a pattern is always visible. You can choose two kinds of materials. Luxurious silk twill, thanks to its fine knurl, allows the scarf to keep its shape better and to not slip so much. Size 47x47 cm is ideal for wearing around your neck, on your hand or as a handkerchief for mans’ shirt’s pocket, going well with partner’s dress. Silky scarf in a typical size of 90x90 cm. It is a perfect accesory to your outfit, applicable in almost infinite number of ways.
For modern nomads, we offer size 130x130 cm, made from cotton voile with 30 % silk addition. It is ideal for both winter and summer. On vacation, it may serve you as a pareo, a dress, a skirt, a top, a turban or as plaid around your shoulders.
Your ‚very own SG scarf‘ has its home in handmade boxes, manufactured in a small factory near Prague. I created this original packaing so it not only allows your scarf to ‚breathe‘, but so you can see what is stored inside. The scarves get their print and are finished in factory in northern Italy.
I love that they have a selection of amazing kinds of silk and cotton (and more),
but that they can transfer all the illustrations onto the scarves of the highest quality.
Included with each scarf is a small book with specific collection’s story. Sizes Golem and Tinkerbell also come with a unique certificate number, since each motive in those sizes was created in a limited number.
A last but not least, a small bonus: a pearl button. I made this handy ‚gizmo‘ to get rid of big knots.
Now you can tie your scarves in more creative ways, arrange it and place on your outfit better.
I would be delighted to hear from you how you like our scarves. I am working on new stories already and I am interested which you like the most. Send me a word how comfortable SG scarves are to wear, don’t be shy to include your photos of how you tie them.
I’m happy to welcome you all in my ‚silky gang‘.
Even you can become a part of a story while wearing scarves from Silky Gang collection.
Yours, Martina SG Karafiátová

Suitainability according Silky Gang
We believe that even luxury products can be sustainable.
What is our way?
We do not have seasonal collections.
Our scarves and accessories are timeless, you will enjoy them in your wardrobe for years.
We use silk twill woven in Italy in northern Italy in the Como region where we also print the designs on our scarves.
The process of weaving, production and printing is in accordance with the strictest GOTS textile certification.
Only organic-quality colors are used, using only the minimum necessary amount of water. We can label our scarves with the term ORGANIC silk.
The paper packaging of our products is made of matte colored cardboard, the square boxes are assembled by hand, without the use of any glue. We pack our gloves, handbags and jewelry in hand-sewn fabric bags.
This way you can store our accessories better and they will last longer. We only use recycled cardboard boxes to pack your orders. We pack orders in cellophane, which is made from cellulose, we do not use any plastic packaging or fillings. We do not stock our collections and therefore do not have any seasonal sales. All our production is maximally local. We have gloves and handbags sewn by hand in small workshops in the Czech Republic, we import leather and scarves from Italy, the components for our jewelry are from the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.
That's sustainability according to the Silky Gang
Said about us
Your scarves literally enchanted me. All fairy-tale motifs are perfectly color-coordinated, describing the given fairy tale. Peonies from the Secret Gardens collection as alive. Really hard to pick one.

Beautiful scarves. At first I was quite hesitant to buy the Silky Gang scarf. I was used to Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, or Dior. And thanks to previous experiences with some Czech products (sorry about the quality ones), I had no confidence. My surprise was even greater when I bought my first scarf from you. The scarves are made of high-quality, I would say exclusive materials, which are processed with absolute precision. Rolled hems, simply beautiful. And those fairy-tale prints that nostalgically bring the wearer back to their childhood and are not childish at the same time. It is a pleasure to wear such scarves and I am proud that they are Czech. Good luck and I look forward to your news. Your scarves literally enchanted me. All fairy-tale motifs are perfectly color-coordinated, describing the given fairy tale. Peonies from the Secret Gardens collection as alive. Really hard to choose a ride.

I am happy that I discovered Silky Gang scarves. I have several of them, different types and sizes, because I wear them almost all the time. I put them through my hair in the heat by the sea. I use it as a light airy dress or as a plaid over the shoulders on trips to sacred places. I also like to tie scarves as a belt over dresses or pants. And when it gets cold, I tie scarves around my neck in different ways. And my absolute top unwatched accessory is a small scarf tied around the wrist. I'm already looking forward to the next piece I'll get. The beautiful colors and the light silk are impeccable. If I can't decide which one to choose (which of course will happen), the owner Martina will definitely help and advise me.

I love you! I admire! I watch something new every day! I look up to you! Proving something like that would be a dream for me! I'm rooting for you!!! Not everyone can buy a Hermes satka. Almost no one! But this is worth dreaming about!!!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, may you continue to do well!!! I'm a huge fan of yours and I hope that the well-deserved success will be the drive for more, newer, more imaginative, more creative accessories that make our lives more beautiful and happier. Greetings from the Philippines.
