VINTAGE CONDITION SHOP MORE VINTAGE HATS Shop more Spring & Summer Hats WHAT IS A TURBAN About TurbansA turban is a type of hat made from a long, draped scarf wrapped around the head, or a rigid hat with a beehive-shaped crown and no brim, which is wrapped and draped with fabric to resemble a wrapped scarf. It is interesting to note that turbans date back 5,000 years to Mesopotamia. Moreover, Paul Poiret popularized them for women in the early 1900s.The turban marked the transition from the enormous hats of the decade to the close-fitting cloche of the 1920s. After falling out of favor for a while, turbans reemerged in the late 1950s and 1960s, becoming very popular once again.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a hatbox or covered with acid-free tissue to prevent dust. Avoid using modern sprays or steam, as these can damage delicate materials and trims. For reshaping or cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional milliner experienced in vintage restoration.
