This Linen medieval veil has an oval shape inspired by European veils worn from around the 11th to 15th centuries. It is lightweight and comfortable with two fabric options, 100% linen and 87% cotton with 13% linen blend. With one-piece design, it drapes naturally over the head and shoulders and can be pinned in different ways.
Fabric Options
100% Linen : Made entirely from flax fibers, linen is naturally breathable, strong, lightweight and moisture-absorbing. It has a slightly crisp natural texture and a look that works great for historical clothing. Choose this if you prefer a more natural fabric with excellent airflow and a classic medieval feel.
Cotton-Linen Blend: This fabric mixes the softness and smooth feel of cotton with the breathability and strength of linen. The higher cotton content gives it a slightly softer and fuller feel. Choose this option if you want a softer, more comfortable fabric.
