SCARVES

We can trace the inception of scarves as a garment back to 1350 BC, to Ancient Egypt, when Queen Nefertiti is believed to be wearing woolen scarves under her headpiece. Gradually, scarves have been used as part of military attire or for casual daily use since the times of Ancient Rome, even as a decorative piece when the scarf patterns became a thing. During war conflicts that stretched out for months, maybe even years, scarves have been a necessity, protecting not only soldiers, but anyone in need from cold.

This nowadays common garment still kept its entity of several uses, but scarves are much more appreciated and the great deal of attention is paid to their decorating. On top of that, scarves has a sentimental meaning and make for a great gift.If you’re looking for a simple look, try some of the Inis Meáin pieces or any scarf from our very own HANSEN Garments collection.
