Handkerchief fan flower 63 x 63 cm

The fan flower handkerchief is a red farmer's handkerchief measuring 63 x 63 cm, with white roses in the corners and a flower rosette in the center. Women and men tie it around their neck, head, or wrist when they want to wear a farmer's look during carnival or at a farmer's wedding. The red handkerchief also suits a cowboy outfit for a western party.

Roses, scrollwork and border on the red farmer's handkerchief

• The size is 63 x 63 cm, so you can fold the handkerchief diagonally and tie it as a triangle.
• The base color is bright red, with a white rose with gray shadows in each corner.
• In the center is a white rosette in the shape of a flower, surrounded by a wreath of white dots.
• Scrollwork with leaves and curls forms a decorative border around the center panel.
• Along the four sides runs a narrow border with a white-gray checkered pattern.

The red handkerchief as a farmer's symbol

The red farmer's handkerchief was traditionally the farmer's neckerchief in the fields, and is therefore the most recognizable part of a farmer's costume. In Brabant and Limburg, it is just as much a natural part of the carnival outfit as the farmer's smock. While many farmer's handkerchiefs have a small, continuous pattern, this handkerchief features one large symmetrical design around the center. So choose it if you want the flower to remain visible, for example when unfolded as a headscarf.

How do you tie the flower handkerchief for a recognizable farmer's look?

For a recognizable farmer's look, tie the fan flower handkerchief as a triangle around your neck, with the point facing forward so that a corner rose remains visible. Men complete the look with a farmer's smock and a cap, women with a checkered blouse or an apron. If you want to be more of a cowboy than a farmer, fold the handkerchief into a narrow band and tie it around your head, or wear it as a bandana over your nose and mouth.

Order the fan flower handkerchief and your farmer's costume will immediately have its red accent for the polonaise.
