Fred Perry x Tootal Silk Scarves


Just arrived are the fantastic 100% Silk Scarves produced in a special collaborative project between two cult British iconic companies, Fred Perry and Tootal.

There are few genuine Mod clothing brands with real Mod class and history, but Tootal is one of them. A classic British heritage brand, Tootal played an important role in Sixties and Seventies Mod fashion.

The Tootal scarf first became a fashion accessory in the World War 2 era and became associated with a "RAF" look and style. In the Sixties, the Tootal scarves made a revival when Mod Scooter boys took up the retro scarves (in line with a traditional Mod racing style) and sought out vintage Tootal scarves from the Fourties and Fifties.

Tootal scarves later found popularity in the Nineties Indie and Britpop era, when they were worn by iconic figures such as Paul Weller and Liam Gallagher.

Coming in four colours with a 2-ply (double-sided) design, the scarves have been produced using 100% Silk and feature the traditional Paisley and Polkadot designs long associated with the Tootal brand.

Very Limited!!!
