Vtg 1950s Bariba Georgie Nylon Scarf - Hidden Geisha Novelty‎ Embroidery - 60x20

Rare Mid-Century Bariba Georgie Hidden Novelty Head Scarf An exceptional find for the vintage connoisseur. This 1950s/60s sheer Georgie (Nylon Georgette) stole is not only a beautiful accessory but a piece of Novelty textile art. The Design: A Hidden Reveal While at first glance this piece features a stunning pink peony, a closer look at the stylized embroidery reveals a Hidden Geisha character motif. The large pink bloom forms the kimono, while the delicate vines and buds above it create the silhouette of a traditional Japanese hairstyle (Shimada) and ornate hairpins. This playful optical illusion makes it a highly collectible novelty print from the era. Provenance & Fabric: This scarf features the rare, original factory selvedge mark along the edge: BARIBA NYLON GEORGIE. Unlike standard organza, Nylon Georgette has a sophisticated, slightly grainy texture that offers a superior drape and keeps its crisp stiff shape perfectly—ideal for dramatic headwraps or evening stoles. Details: • Dimensions: Extra-long 60 L x 20 W (rare stole length). • Material: Authentic Mid-Century Nylon Georgette. • Color: Ivory sheer off-white field with dusty rose pink and cream embroidery. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Fabric is strong and vibrant with edges in tact. Very well cared for. Perfect for a high-end vintage collection, a bridal ensemble, or a classic Rockabilly/Pin-up look. Scarf ring not included.
