Cotton Scarves

In ancient China it indicated the rank of a warrior under Emperor Cheng’s service, and when Croatian mercenaries wore them, the French soon adopted the scarf as a fashion accessory. By the 18th century, men and women were wearing them, no matter their social class. Worn over the head, round the neck or shoulders, the cotton scarf has made a timely comeback as an indispensable accessory to brighten up any wardrobe.
