"La gente sosta e mira e la bellezza mia tutta ricerca in me da capo a piè ..."
Just a first-impression review on receiving a "La Scala" plain white silk opera scarf from Elizabetta. As ever, I shall revise it in time should the product disappoint after use.
But those first impressions on receipt and first wearing are very favourable. I chose the scarf to wear to the many musical events I'll be attending this autumn. After my customary search of many alternatives, I concluded this was:
- Fashioned from a finer and more lustrous silk than many, from the Lake Como production area that boasts a 600-year history of sericulture
- More generously proportioned than most, particularly in length (1.8m) though not so much in width (22cm vs up to 28cm)
- Of superior (tubular) construction to several similarly priced options, and more equivalent to luxury brands costing up to several times more
- Styled with a more refined short "eyelash" fringe, as opposed to those long theatrical tassels that can get into such a tangle round buttons, braces or each other.
The scarf was delivered swiftly, in an elegantly designed gift envelope of black card. I soon found the best way to wear it was the simplest - hung round the back of the neck at full length, with or without a single lengthwise fold, to show off to best advantage its beautiful sheen and drape.
Branding is mercifully subtle: a discreet little label sewn on one side, rather than a name printed prominently across the scarf, as with some luxury brands that should have better taste.
The only bad news? I bought the last one in stock!
However, there is one remaining "Verdi" opera scarf in white but with a more textured design, as well as many colourfully printed alternatives. And perhaps "La Scala" will be restocked in due course.
Bravo, Elizabetta!
Wonderful colour combinations in this beautiful scarf. I am so glad I have found your small family run business 😊!
Beautiful design and excellent quality. Extraordinarily friendly and highly efficient customer support. To be recommended!
I choose no other brand. That is all that I need to write.
I bought a tie. Absolutely love it. Great silk. Awesome look and feel, awesome build. Minor shipping issue was resolved completely and to my total satisfaction.
A work of art. Complements abound. I now own 18 Elizabetta ties, and this gets paired with my earth tones magically. Kurt B., NY.
I’ve been wearing ties every week for over 30 years, but I recently came across Elizabetta; they really are excellent quality ties, and their shipping is very fast.
I had a minor problem with the original tie I received and the owner Elizabetta personally reached out to me explaining the process of the hand ties and sent me a replacement tie. I explained to her it was for my Daughters Elizabeth's wedding. I will be forever grateful for the personal touch and excellent customer service displayed. My tie is beautiful and I will proudly wear. Elizabetta shopper for life now. Dave Herndon
My Barbera silver Jacquard tie looked amazing on website photos, and I was surprised to find it was just as beautiful upon delivery when I opened the box.
I have two sons getting married this year and wanted to get a custom vest for one of my suits; I was unable to get what I wanted so I searched for a special tie.
That’s what I received!
Thank you
I ordered the tie to wear to a wedding, and I love it. Beautiful fabric and appears to be a high quality piece.
I’ve been buying ties for 40 plus years, these are the best ties that I’ve ever purchased.
Beautiful fabric, great quality and craftsmanship. Will look perfect for my husband on my daughters wedding day in Tuscany.
This is my sixth or seventh Elizabeth’s tie and they never disappoint.
Excellent quality, colors are vibrant and it goes with so many components of my wardrobe!

Buon pomeriggio, sono davvero entusiasta del mio acquisto. L’ho comprato per abbinarlo a un abito in organza nero e crema, senza spalline, da indossare a un matrimonio, e si abbina molto bene al vestito. Sono davvero soddisfatta e non vedo l’ora di indossarlo quel giorno.
I hope my attempt at Italian makes sense

Beautiful, high-quality tie! Bought as a gift for my father-in-law at my wedding and he was very happy with it!
