Urban Outifitters sold them for months and no one said anything until now. I remember those types of scarves being a timeless accessory — especially paisley and Burberry patterns.

I mean kids from the ‘burbs are starting to wear these. Soon, Gap will roll them out in their new line for fall.

These scarves have been in and out of Western “fashion” for decades. There is absolutely nothing new or original about this. Just a bunch of followers taking their “style” cues from pop culture yet again.
