The Enormity Of History

None

Imogene + Willie looked to Japan for the inspiration behind this scarf, which features Boro fabric—the stitched together "rags" of indigo dyed cotton by Japanese families during the turn of the century—combined with other scraps I+W collected. The end result? A scarf that not only looks good, but gives you a way to not-so-humble brag the fuck all over people who ask you about your dope ass scarf. “Oh, you know, just some fabric from the late 19th century. That's all." Your iPhone 4 doesn't seem that old now, does it? Stunt on people’s poor grasp of the sheer enormity of history for a mere $250.
