Vintage Style for Classic Ladies
This shop is an extension of Flashback Summer, a vintage lifestyle blog with an intercultural twist. While I hope to expand into some more offerings in the future, my bread and butter now is head wraps! A necessary part of the wardrobes of women from many cultures and over many centuries, I've selected fabrics and prints that will coordinate especially well with vintage-inspired looks.
You'll find three different shapes of scarves in the shop:
- Rectangle - This is the kind of scarf more commonly found in African headwrap shops, and there is an endless variety of styles you can create with these! There's a lot of fabric to work with, and these scarves are especially great if you like dramatic flair and volume in your wraps.
- Square - These scarves were commonly worn back in the day and are probably most famously donned by World War 2 factory workers like "Rosie the Riveter." These are generally used for drapier styles and are made of lighter fabrics. They're also perfect for covering curlers!
- Triangle - The triangle scarves are based on headscarves in my own collection. I call these "chore wraps" because they tie into only one basic style, but with hair and accessory changes they get a lot of wear in my wardrobe! They're sturdy, and I've experimented to find the perfect size that allows enough room for hair while being tight enough not to slip off.
