The colorful, naive graphics of true vintage souvenir scarves and hankies are SO much fun!! It’s wonderful to find one in silk, or any high quality vintage fabric like rayon or fine 100% cotton.
The designs are always so cute and bright. Not a good disguise, though, unless I’m wanting to look like a tourist . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here are 3 small scarves from my large collection. I have selected them to show you for their unusual patterns. Vintage novelty graphics and florals are lovely and very distinctive. Always perfect to brighten a jacket pocket, or add a bright touch to your neckline, to a purse handle or your hair.
On the other hand, patterns like the one on top – looks like little postage-stamp drawings – are very unusual and interesting. Check out the green square on right – see the little ballerinas around the edge? FUN! I loved discovering this one!!
The fabrics in these scarves are also unique by today’s standards. The silks are lovely and delicate. Hems are always hand-stitched. Rayons and nylons also have a really nice “hand”. Even the old polyesters are different.
I’ll show more of my favorites in different sizes and styles. Marlene and Celia are always very happy for another opportunity to model and, I’ll be introducing Daphne . . . . . . . . . . . .
