Medieval Wimple / Small Veil in Natural Linen Blend
What Exactly Will You Get?
This practical accessory is designed with a focus on historical accuracy and versatility.
- Product Description: This is a carefully sewn piece of fabric in a semi-circular shape, in an unbleached natural colour.
- Material: A strong yet pleasant-to-the-touch blend of 87% cotton and 13% linen. This combination ensures the fabric holds its shape well, is breathable, and durable – just like the materials used in the Middle Ages.
- Dual Use: Thanks to its shape and size, it's ideal for tying under the chin as a wimple to cover the neck. It serves equally well as a simple, smaller veil draped over the head.
For Whom and for What Occasion?
This head covering is a cornerstone of the wardrobe for any woman venturing into history. It is perfect for:
- Historical festivals, markets, and town fairs
- LARP and reenactment events (for characters from a simple peasant to a wealthy townswoman)
- Theatre and film costumes
A Tidbit from History: Sumptuary Laws
Did you know that in the Middle Ages, there were so-called Sumptuary Laws? These laws strictly dictated who could wear what colours and materials. For example, bright colours and expensive fabrics like silk were often reserved for the highest nobility. However, a simple, undyed linen or cotton fabric like this was universal. It could be worn by virtually any woman regardless of social status, making this veil a perfectly authentic and versatile accessory.
How to Care for Your Product
To maintain the fabric's beauty and strength, we recommend hand washing or using a gentle machine cycle (up to 30°C / 86°F). Do not use bleach. Air dry; do not tumble dry. You can iron it on a medium setting (cotton/linen).
