Is 2025 the Year of the Balaclava?
Big scarves are DONE (jk)
I was busy writing you an email about my eBay watchlist when I fell down a DEEP rabbit hole. It started with a bonnet…
I cannot remember how I ended up on this listing, but LOOK AT HER:
That is a Victorian, velvet, hand embroidered bonnet with fox fur trim. It is for a child. It is absolutely not my style. AND YET!
Now that I have seen it, all I can think about is head and neck coverings—but certainly not anything as commonplace as a scarf or a simple knitted hat! No, I am pining after balaclavas and strange little bonnets and scarves with attached hoods.
After the paywall:
Are Balaclavas the hot new headcovering?
Cashmere Bandanas! Hoods that tie under your chin! More Balaclavas than I can count!
Some winterwear that left me asking a lot of questions
