Head-Wraps and Head Scarves

We've been playing around with our newly found passion for scarves. We had an idea to make head-wraps, and it came about when Tita Mercy, an inspiring and strong-willed woman battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, and needed an alternative to a wig. In conjunction to this, we have been receiving requests to make "Tarhas" to pair with Abayas, by family and friends based in the Middle East. Thus our affair with head-wraps and head scarves began. 

Our inspiration, Tita Mercy, wearing her head-wrap with customized brooch. We made a two-toned head-wrap which she can wear to work.

The fabric we used for our two toned head-wraps are micro-peach and chiffon.

More two-toned head-wraps.

This one is a triangle scarf, with beading on the edges, which

 can be used as "Tarha" over an Abaya. 

This  scarf collection  is named after my mother, Rosalina. Unlike the Hiraya Scarf-Necklace, the beading is embroidered around the edges of the scarf. This was inspired by the beading techniques of women from Basilan, Philippines.  

Our Hiraya Scarf-Necklace can be used as a head-wrap and necklace at the same time!

Using the Hiraya Scarf-Necklace as a headpiece looks romantic, like a "Juliet" inspired veil. You can have something like this customized for your wedding entourage. Let the girls wear it as a headpiece on your wedding ceremony, and afterwards they can wear it as a scarf-necklace.

Another fun way to wear the scarf as a headpiece is to use it as a headband.

 Braid the rest of the scarf to your hair.

With just one scarf and a little bit of imagination, 

there are many ways to use it as a head accessory.
