For the last couple of months I have been on the hunt for the perfect
turban hat. I was really expecting to find one on my recent trip to
Paris but disappointed to find that vintage stores there weren't nearly
as great as I expected. Turbans for me not only have an old Hollywood
glamour feel to them but I also find them incredibly exotic looking.
When I spot somebody wearing a turban I am always completely intrigued
by them! I do own some hats that I suppose resemble turbans but none
are quite right (please excuse the fact that I need my fringe trimmed
urgently!)...
I recently saw that somebody is selling new turban style hats on Trade Me and am seriously considering getting myself one (or two).
What do you think? Close enough to the real thing?

blog you'll find a little interview from me about vintage fashion,
Dashfield Vintage and my love for strong coffee!
I love turbans! I found this great tutorial for making a "turban" out of an old t-shirt and I now have a few in different colours :)

They are great for covering pincurls if the curls aren't quite set yet :)
Oh great thank you for the tip, will definitely give that one go!
ReplyDeleteI love the black velvet one. Perfect for winter time :)
