This is a vintage mens opera scarf featuring an ornate print in red, white and black against a yellow background. The scarf is hand knot fringed at either end.
Age: 1940s
Label: Exclusive Prints by Stylebest
Material: There is no fabric content indicated, but I believe that it is a twill acetate - the material falls nicely, has good weight and feels cool to the touch
Size: I posed the scarf folded, but it is quite large, measuring 20 1/2” wide by 49” long, exclusive of its fringe - the fringe measures 3” long at either end, so total length is 55”
Condition: It is in very good condition with a few small marks, shown in the photos. I haven’t cleaned the scarf, but the marks are really minor and look worse in the photos than in real life - this scarf is actually quite clean and in my opinion, ready for wear.
This is a wonderful vintage scarf, nice colour and pattern - 1940s scarves are wider and longer than later scarves, this is a very nice example!
