Corporate Christmas gifts in cashmere: why you should order by the end of October
di—Fondatore SILKinCOM
"A gift that lasts through the cold months and never ends up in a drawer: the Cernobbio scarf with a company monogram takes time, and in December there is no time left."
It is half past eight on a late-autumn morning, and Piazza Duomo in Como is still wrapped in a still, grey light. A man crosses the cathedral square with his hands in his pockets, walking like someone with a business meeting in ten minutes. Around his neck is a grey scarf, casually wrapped, its fringes falling over a taupe coat, and on its edge, barely visible, a small gold embroidery. It is not an accessory he chose himself: it arrived in a box, from a company that wanted to say thank you for a year of work with something that is genuinely used, not something looked at once and forgotten.
Why a cashmere scarf works as a corporate gift
A corporate Christmas gift has a precise job: it should be remembered for its quality, not for its logo. A cashmere scarf does that job better than almost any other object, because it is used for months, not for a day. Whoever receives it wears it at the office, on the train, leaving a business dinner in January, and each time their thoughts go back to whoever gave it. It is an object that works over time, not in the moment the parcel is opened.
The Cernobbio scarf: colours, sizes and composition
The Cernobbio line is made of pure cashmere, soft and light, designed to see you through winter without weighing you down. Its three variants make it easy to build a coherent gift list, whether for a team of colleagues or for clients with different tastes.
Cernobbio Azzurra
The measures 190 x 35 cm and costs 150 euros. It is a bright yet restrained blue that works over dark and light coats alike, and it suits a gift intended for a mixed audience.
Cernobbio Beige
The has the same size, 190 x 35 cm, and the same price, 150 euros. It pairs naturally with wool and camel outerwear, and stays neutral even with more formal clothes.
Cernobbio Grigia
The , 190 x 35 cm, 150 euros, is the classic grey of the most formal workplaces. It also goes well with dark outfits, for anyone looking for a sober gift with no compromise on quality.

The company monogram: discreet, never intrusive
Continue reading
The personalisation we recommend to companies is not a large, visible logo but a small monogram, embroidered in one corner, often in a single colour that blends with the fabric. A set of initials, a letter, a symbol the company already uses in its own communication: the aim is for the gift to remain recognisable to the giver without turning an elegant piece into a gadget. The dedicated embroidery is applied to the company's specifications, and for larger projects, such as a capsule of several products under your own brand, we also work in white label.
The gift box, and what the recipient finds inside
Every scarf ordered through the corporate programme arrives in the maison's gift box, and the packaging can be personalised, with the option of adding a dedicated card: not a generic box, but a wrapping that accompanies the discovery of the piece, from the fold to the paper that protects it. For whoever organises delivery to several colleagues or clients, this means a uniform unboxing experience, with no differences from one parcel to the next — a detail that stands out above all when the gift arrives at the office in front of colleagues.
Why it pays to order by the end of October rather than wait until December
Personalisation, whether an embroidered monogram or a larger capsule, takes between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the project. Counting back from mid-December, when corporate gifts are usually handed out, gives an order to confirm between mid-October and mid-November. Ordering by the end of October leaves room for any changes in quantity, for defining the embroidery calmly and for organising deliveries without a rush. Reaching December without having started the request often means giving up the personalisation, or the piece you wanted, simply for lack of time.
How an order works for companies, firms and HR
The programme for hotels, companies and professional firms follows a few clear rules, worth knowing before any order.
Minimum quantity
The minimum order is 20 pieces, which may be mixed across colours and models: you can therefore put together a list with Cernobbio Azzurra, Beige and Grigia in the same order, according to the recipients' preferences.
Response times
Every enquiry sent through the Hospitality & Corporate Gifting programme receives a reply within 24 hours, with a dedicated price list that reflects the quantities and the personalisation requested.
Personalisation
Besides the embroidered monogram, you can request dedicated gift packaging and, for more structured projects, white-label capsules that also include other categories from the catalogue, from silk foulards to twillies.
Anyone wanting a broader comparison of materials before deciding which piece to choose for their gift list can consult our guide to materials, which is also useful for making the case to HR and management.
Questions purchasing managers and HR ask us
What is the minimum number of scarves we need to order?
The minimum for the corporate programme is 20 pieces, which may be mixed across different colours of the same line or across different models in the catalogue. This lets you respect tastes and roles without having to choose a single colour for the whole company.
How long before Christmas do we need to order?
Personalisation takes between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the project: for delivery in mid-December, the right time to start the request is by the end of October. Waiting until November reduces the margin for any corrections.
Can we put the company logo on the scarf?
Yes, the monogram or dedicated embroidery is designed precisely for this: a company's initials or symbol applied discreetly, in a position and a colour that do not compromise the elegance of the piece.
Is the gift box already included in the order?
The maison's gift box is part of the corporate gifting programme, so that every piece arrives ready to hand over, with no further steps required from the company.
Can we mix different colours in the same order?
Yes, the three variants of the Cernobbio line — Azzurra, Beige and Grigia — can be combined in the same order, as can other models from the catalogue, while still respecting the minimum of 20 pieces in total.
How much does the Cernobbio scarf cost in the corporate programme?
The list price of a single Cernobbio scarf is 150 euros; for corporate orders, a dedicated price list is provided after the initial enquiry, reflecting quantities and personalisation.
Decide now, and in December you hand over a real gift
Anyone responsible for corporate gifts knows that the moment you choose the supplier matters as much as the gift itself: reaching November without having started the order often means settling for less. Whoever contacts the Hospitality & Corporate Gifting programme now still has time for a carefully made monogram, a gift box worthy of the occasion and on-time delivery, without chasing December deadlines. For anyone who wants to know how to choose and wear a cashmere scarf before proposing it internally, our guide to the men's cashmere scarf remains a good starting point. A gift that is worn all winter cannot be improvised in December: it is prepared now, with the same method you would use to prepare a budget or a work plan.
