Medieval velvet mirella hood, various colors



This buttoned velvet hood is made from cotton velvet (100% cotton) and lined with a light cotton fabric. The hood ends in a long point (also called a liripipe ) and is cut extra wide around the face so that it can be folded up or pulled down over the face as needed. The hood is fastened with small ball buttons so that the woman does not ruin her hair style when putting it on and taking it off. Usually only one or two buttons were fastened at the collar or the hood was worn completely open.



This buttoned headdress dates back to the late Middle Ages and in this version was only worn by women. Numerous depictions from the period show that this type of hood was part of everyday clothing and was often worn at work.



In the Middle Ages and early modern times, covering one's head was obligatory for married women; the expression "getting under the hood" is derived from this custom.



Another thing that can be added about velvet is that it originated in the Mediterranean region in the 14th century and was predominantly woven in Italy. The elaborate design made velvet an exclusive commodity.

- Available sizes: one size

- Available colors: black, red

- Material: 100% cotton (velvet)

- Care instructions:

Cotton velvet should not be put in the washing machine as velvet wrinkles irreversibly. Velvet should also not be ironed as this will cause the pile to lose its depth. We recommend removing light stains with a clothes brush. If there is more serious contamination, we recommend cleaning the gugel.
