At ELLESILK, we pride ourselves on being more than just a premium custom silk scarf brand — we are artisans of elegance, detail, and precision. To ensure every scarf we produce meets the highest expectations, we offer a crucial and complimentary service: a detailed design preview (with hand-rolled edge color) and final design proof delivered within 24 hours of receiving your order.
This isn’t just a simple mock-up. It’s a meticulous process involving image quality checks, design consistency reviews, and manual edge-color application — all before we even begin production.
1. Image Quality Check: It All Starts with Your Upload
When customers upload their artwork during the ordering process, the first step our design team takes is verifying image resolution and suitability for silk printing.
- Minimum resolution: 300 DPI
We check if the file meets the print-quality threshold. Low-resolution images result in blurry or pixelated prints on silk, and cannot be used. - Size-to-product match
We ensure that the image dimensions align with the chosen scarf size to prevent unwanted distortion or stretching.
If an issue is found, we promptly contact the customer with suggestions or request an updated version to proceed.
2. Special Attention for Double-Sided Scarves
For customers ordering a double-sided silk scarf, we carry out a more detailed assessment:
- Are both sides of the design uploaded?
Occasionally, customers submit only one side by mistake. - Do the two designs align and complement each other?
We analyze whether the front and back designs are visually harmonious and check for any conflicting elements. - Is symmetry or alignment necessary?
Depending on the scarf’s intended fold or wear style, we check whether the two sides will overlap cleanly or create visual imbalance.
This ensures your scarf looks beautiful from every angle.
3. Adding and Evaluating the Hand-Rolled Edge Color
ELLESILK scarves are finished with 1.5 cm hand-rolled hems, and customers can select the edge color during the order process. However, even the most beautiful scarf designs can be affected by edge colors that don’t quite match the overall composition.
Here’s what we do:
- Manually simulate the rolled edge
Our designers carefully add the selected edge color around the uploaded artwork, ensuring the edge width and placement are realistic. - Visual harmony check
We evaluate whether the selected hem color enhances or clashes with the design. If it doesn’t look right, we will suggest better-matching options.
This attention to detail ensures the final scarf feels refined, balanced, and truly luxurious.
4. Final Design Proof for Customer Approval
Once all elements are reviewed and aligned — image quality, design consistency, and hem color — we generate a final high-resolution silk scarf preview that represents exactly how your scarf will look.
This proof includes:
- Full scarf design with proportionally placed hand-rolled edge
- Accurate color depiction
- For double-sided orders: preview of both front and back designs
Only after you approve the final proof will we proceed to production.
