Etymology

The word 'foulard' originated from the French language, derived from the Persian term 'foulard' which meant 'a silk cloth' or 'veil.' Historically, foulards were crafted from silk originating in Iran, and their popularity spread to Europe in the 17th century. By the 19th century, foulards became fashionable among European aristocrats and were commonly used in luxurious clothing. The fabric's unique patterns and vibrant colors contributed to its appeal. Today, foulards are made from various materials, yet the term has remained associated with the elegant and versatile neckwear that can enhance any outfit.
