Saracen Turban / Arabian Desert Cap | Black & Blue
Design and Features
The turban is crafted from breathable crepe cotton, which gives it a rich, textured appearance. It features a fitted cap base surrounded by a thick, padded roll that adds impressive volume to your silhouette. Attached to the side is a long veil or scarf tailored from the same fabric. This versatile element can be draped over the shoulder or wrapped around the lower face and neck (Litham style) to conceal your identity or provide protection against the elements.
Historical Context
For centuries, the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa have worn turbans and face wraps not just for tradition, but for survival. The layers of fabric provided insulation against the intense desert heat, while the face covering filtered out sand during storms. In the context of the Crusades, such headwear became iconic of the skilled light cavalry and infantry of the Saracen armies.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and shape of the fabric:
- Hand wash only in cold water.
- Do not bleach or tumble dry.
- Air dry away from direct sunlight.
