Linen Medieval Half-Moon Wimple or Veil

Complete your medieval outfit with this half-moon shaped wimple.

Veils were an essential part of women’s wardrobes throughout medieval Europe, symbolising modesty, social status, and religious devotion. They also served a practical function, helping to keep the hair clean.

Depending on the era and persona, veils were often paired with a wimple to provide additional modesty. 

Linen was the most common choice for wimples, valued for its durability, ease of cleaning, and ability to withstand the elements. Wealthier women often wore veils in finer fabrics, but natural or bleached linen remained a timeless classic.

This reproduction is a small semi-circle. It can be worn under the chin as a wimple, or on the head as a small veil. When worn as a veil it is suitable for those who want a smaller veil, and is small enough that it is suitable for children or teenagers. 

It is made of natural colour cotton/linen blend (87% cotton, 13% linen)

Whether you're portraying a noblewoman, merchant, or peasant, this wimple is the perfect addition to your wardrobe.
