This time my dilemma lies between choosing one from two of my favorite brands, Gucci and Louis Vuittion.

The Gucci scarf my heart is set on is a GG pattern shawl.  It is a dark purple scarf with black GG on it.  The blend is 70% cashmere and 30% silk.  The size is 45.3”L X 49.2”H.  And it costs USD 395.

The other one is Louis Vuittion’s Leopard and Monogram Scarf.  It is a crepe silk scarf with two Louis Vuittion signatures, the monogram and the leopared print.   The size is 70.7”L X 7.9” H.  It is 100% silk and costs USD 281.

Both of the above are excellent fashion scarves and would make great scarves for women.  They can either be worn as a head scarf or as a neck scarf.

The above information confuses me as to if I should go for the purple scarf or the leopard monogram scarf. Both have become my heart throbs but would be too costly for me to buy two.

Can someone please help and advice me what to do?

The main purpose of a scarf is protection.  In cooler climates wool and knitted scarves are used to stay warm.  In moderated climates, lighter materials such as a silk scarf are used as fashion scarves.

As compared to the past, today men’s scarf are becoming as popular as women scarves.

Designer scarves are available in a variety of crochet and knitting patterns.  Cashmere and pashmina shawls available in a wide variety of patterns add color to a simple outfit white providing protection against the cold.  May it be a black scarf, a red scarf, green scarf, a white silk scarf or any other color it is sure to add style and serve as an expression of personal taste.

Scarves used as uniforms help identify civil authority figures and different groups.

Ladies scarves and wraps worn as head scarves promote religious dress codes such as Judism and Islam.

Thus, a scarf originally known as a “sudarium” and used as a sweat cloth has many great uses today.
