Coif: Medieval Bavarian Women's Pleated Cotton Cap – Various Colours
Medieval Symbol of Marriage and Practical Accessory
In the Middle Ages and the early Early Modern Period, the coif (Bundhaube) was the typical head covering for married women. While unmarried girls and young women could wear their hair uncovered (or chose other ornaments like fillets, wreaths, or veils), the coif signalled the status of a married lady. The phrase "to get under the coif" (or German "unter die Haube kommen") is derived from this custom. Besides its social significance, the coif also served a purely practical function – it protected the hair from dirt, dust, and grime during household chores or outdoor work. This pleated replica is an excellent choice to stylishly complete your historical costume.

Care Instructions for Your Medieval Coif
To ensure your coif lasts as long as possible and looks great, we recommend the following care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air drying is best, ideally laid flat to maintain the pleat structure.
- Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature.
- Avoid: Do not use aggressive bleaches and avoid strong spinning, which could damage the folded structure.
Please note: Only the coif is sold! Other garments and accessories in the photos are available separately in our online shop.
