Mantilla

Feb 25, 2017 | by admin | Hat Resource | Articles

The mantilla is a sheer, lace or silk scarf worn by women and girls over the head and shoulders. Mantillas are often placed over an elaborate hair comb called a “peineta” to give it added height at the crown of the head. They are popular in Spain and Mexico.
