Something about a beautifully printed scarf /pocket square/cravat that is what some might characterize as a force multiplier to elevate the common outfit into something special. Pound for pound these accessories are really worth their weight in gold. Case in point is this beautifully printed scarf by KulturGut. I was lucky enough to pick this square scarf up in the gift shop on my recent visit to Burghausen Castle. At 55cm square with hand rolled and stitched edges, it's just small enough to be used as a pocket square, but large enough to also function as a cravat/neckerchief or ladies headscarf. The KulturGut website says:
The "Kunst- und Wunderkammer" or Art and Curiosity Chamber of Trausnitz Castle remembers a tradition of the Dukes of Wittelsbach to collect exotic items and curiosities. A very precious piece is a picture table of the 16th century which shows a garden of paradise with animals, flowering branches and fruits.
The 'KulturGut' or "Good Culture" collection offers a number of silk clothing/scarves and other beautifully made objects including ceramics, whose patterns are borrowed from or inspired by treasures in various state-owned Castles and Museums of Bavaria. Drawing from the rich cultural heritage and art of Bavaria.
