Vera Neumann Vintage 1950s Scarves by Vera Pure Silk Scarf Water Repellent As Is

Rare archival 1950s vintage pure silk square scarf from the early Scarves by Vera era. Features a beautiful, painterly blue cornflower botanical watercolor print on a cream canvas with an immaculate, genuine hand-rolled hem. This piece features the highly rare, intact early vintage fabric care label stamped Water-Repellent / Made in Japan. PLEASE NOTE CONDITION: This item is distressed and being sold strictly AS-IS for textile study, pattern replication, framing, or fabric upcycling. Due to the natural breakdown of the mid-century water-repellent chemical coating over the decades, the silk has become fragile, displaying visible thinning, places worn completely through (holes), and vintage makeup staining along the fields. Please review all photos carefully. A fascinating piece of mid-century fashion history.
