Vintage scarves are at least 20 years old and often made from better materials than many modern versions.

Consider:

• 100% silk with a soft, slightly shimmering texture.
• cotton or viscose with prints that are now rarely seen.
• hand-rolled hems (a detail rarely found in fast fashion).

You can immediately recognize a good vintage scarf by how the fabric drapes: supple and not stiff.

Vintage silk scarves

• Made from real silk (no polyester look-alikes).
• Thin, supple and easy to tie.
• Often with rich prints and deep colors.

Retro scarves

• Slightly thicker or with more texture.
• Prints from the 70s, 80s or 90s.
• Works well as a statement, without being flashy.

Small vintage scarves

• Square size (perfect for your hair or around your neck).
• Easy to combine with, for example, one of our vintage blouses.
• Ideal if you are just starting with vintage accessories.

A vintage scarf is often the most underrated item in your wardrobe. Why? Here's why:

• You instantly transform a simple outfit into a stylish look (a blazer with a scarf immediately has a completely different vibe).
• You don't have to overthink it, yet your outfit looks perfectly put together.
• You're not buying a trend, but an accessory with character.

Did you know this?
Older scarves are often better finished, e.g. with hand-stitched edges, making them last longer than new versions.

A vintage scarf is a versatile accessory that you can not only tie around your neck, but also use in many other ways. Consider:

• Loosely around your neck with a vintage blazer.
• In your hair as a subtle accent.
• Tied to your bag (works surprisingly well with color).
• Under the collar of one of our vintage sweaters for added depth.

Common mistake:
Our tip: don't tie your scarf too tightly or neatly, as it will quickly look old-fashioned. Instead, let it be a little loose and casual.
