Medieval Linen and Cotton Veil for Reenactments and LARP

Medieval Linen and Cotton Veil for Reenactments and LARP

Complete your medieval outfit with this oval-shaped veil.

Veils were an essential part of women's wardrobe throughout medieval Europe, symbolizing modesty, social status, and religious devotion. They also served a practical purpose, helping to keep hair clean.

Depending on the period and the individual, the veil was often combined with a cap to enhance modesty. They were also often accompanied by a fillet or cap, to which the wearer secured the veil with straight pins.

Linen was the most common choice for veils, valued for its durability, ease of cleaning, and ability to withstand the elements. Wealthier women often wore veils made of finer fabrics, but natural or bleached linen remained a timeless classic.

This veil is a large oval, a very versatile shape that can be draped in different ways to achieve different looks. The oval veil reflects popular styles from the 11th to 15th centuries. It is made from a natural-colored cotton and linen blend (87% cotton, 13% linen).

Whether you represent a noblewoman, a merchant or a peasant, this veil is the perfect complement to your wardrobe.
