Scarves like this one were popular during the rise of department-store fashion culture, offering stylish prints and versatile layering options without the high cost of silk. Today, their pieces are appreciated for their vintage charm and retro styling, especially with woven paisley patterns, which were a hallmark of mid-century fashion trends. #VintageAccessories #PaisleyStyle #RetroChic
