What Is a Twilly Scarf? How to Style and Protect Your Handbag Handles
A Twilly scarf is a narrow decorative scarf designed to be tied around a handbag handle, worn around the wrist or styled as a small fashion accessory.
When wrapped around a purse handle, it adds colour and personality while helping reduce direct contact from natural oils, makeup, hand cream and everyday handling.
My Dumplin Bag now offers Twilly Scarves for our handmade crochet handbags. Choose one scarf for a single side of the handle or two matching or coordinating scarves for both sides. Tell us which Dumplin you have, and we’ll personally choose the scarf that best complements it.
Twilly Scarves are $10 each.
What Is a Twilly Scarf Used For?
A Twilly is a long, narrow scarf commonly used to decorate and help protect handbag handles. It can be wrapped around a handle, tied into a knot or finished with a small bow.
Unlike a full-size scarf, a Twilly is narrow enough to wrap neatly around a purse handle without adding too much bulk.
People add Twilly scarves to their handbags to:
Help protect handles from direct contact with the hands
Add colour, pattern and texture
Coordinate a handbag with an outfit
Refresh the look of a bag they already own
Change the bag’s appearance for different seasons
Give a favourite handbag a more personal look
Do Twilly Scarves Protect Handbag Handles?
A Twilly scarf can help protect a handbag handle by creating a light barrier between the handle and your hands.
The handle is naturally one of the most frequently touched parts of any handbag. Natural skin oils, makeup, hand cream and general handling can affect yarn and other materials—even when a bag has only been carried a few times.
A scarf cannot prevent every sign of use, but it can reduce direct contact with the handle while adding a stylish finishing touch.
Handmade Dumplin Bags styled with coordinating floral and bandana-inspired Twilly Scarves.
Can You Put a Twilly Scarf on a Crochet Handbag?
Yes. A Twilly scarf can be wrapped around the handle of a crochet handbag as long as it is tied carefully and does not pull or place unnecessary pressure on the yarn.
Our Twilly Scarves are selected specifically to complement My Dumplin Bag’s handmade crochet handbags. The scarf adds a layer between the handle and your hands without hiding the texture and shape that make a Dumplin recognizable.
Should You Add One Twilly Scarf or Two?
You can add either one or two Twilly Scarves to your Dumplin.
One Twilly Scarf
Choose one scarf if you want:
A simple pop of colour or pattern
A scarf wrapped around one side of the handle
A decorative knot or bow
An easy way to refresh the look of your bag
Two Twilly Scarves
Choose two scarves if you want:
Both sides of the handle wrapped
More coverage from everyday handling
A fuller, more coordinated appearance
Two matching or complementary prints
When two scarves are ordered, we’ll choose matching scarves when available or two coordinating designs that work beautifully together.
How Do We Match a Twilly to Your Dumplin?
When you order a Twilly Scarf, you’ll be asked:
“Which Dumplin should we match your Twilly to?”
Your answer helps us choose the best colour and print for your bag.
If you’re purchasing a new Dumplin
Enter “Dumplin in this order.” We’ll match the scarf to the new bag you’re purchasing.
If you already own a Dumplin
Enter the colour or product name of your bag. For example:
Navy Dumplin
Buttercream
Red Velvet
White Sparkle
Brown Original Dumplin
If possible, include the Dumplin’s name, size and main colour.
If you want us to choose
Enter “Choose for me.” We’ll select a Twilly that we think complements your Dumplin beautifully.
Can You Add a Twilly to a Dumplin You Already Own?
Yes. You do not need to purchase a new handbag to order a Twilly Scarf.
Adding a scarf is an easy way to update a Dumplin you already own. Tell us its product name or colour, and we’ll select a coordinating scarf. You can also collect different Twillies and change them to suit your outfit, the season or your mood.
One Dumplin, several personalities. We approve.
Are All Twilly Scarves the Same?
No. Our Twilly Scarves are available in an assortment of colours, prints and patterns. Exact designs and pattern placement will vary, and a particular print cannot always be guaranteed.
We personally select each scarf—or pair of scarves—to complement the Dumplin described in your order. This makes each combination feel a little more individual.
How Much Does a Twilly Scarf Cost?
My Dumplin Bag Twilly Scarves are $10 CAD each.
One scarf: $10 CAD
Two matching or coordinating scarves: $20 CAD
The Dumplin Bag is sold separately.
