RARE 1960s Vintage Collectible 'Sicilia' Souvenir Scarf
Wonderfully charming and rare vintage souvenir scarf, celebrating the rich history and folklore of Sicily. The striking central illustration features one of Sicily's magnificent ancient Greek temples, surrounded by beautifully drawn landmarks from across the island. Along the border runs one of the sweetest details: a repeating Carretto Siciliano horse and cart motif, inspired by Sicily's iconic painted carts.
Dating from the late 1960s, this gem is beautifully finished with rolled hems and crafted from a high-quality silky fabric with a soft, elegant drape. The crisp blue and white palette gives it such a timeless, Mediterranean summer feel!
Perfect worn as a neck scarf, head scarf, tied onto a basket bag or displayed as vintage textile art.
