Modern fashionistas adore accessories, which can complement outfits. One of the warmest and most unusual additions to clothing was a fur boa. This product resembles a small fur scarf, which is thrown on the shoulders or wrapped around the neck. The boa constrictor can be made from processed fur or from a solid animal skin with tail, paws and head.
History of things: a boa
Although the name originated from the French "gorge", which in translation means "throat", but the French themselves do not have any "gouges" - there is only "boa".
History says that the first boas were created during the Renaissance. At that time they were positioned as an ornament for the neck, made by their velvet, fur or silk and decorated with lace and precious stones.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, the boa was made of the flesh of dead animals. Most often, fluffy fur was used, and all the attributes of the "living animal" were preserved: teeth, claws on the legs, eyes from colored glass. In the 1920s, they became fashionable coats without a collar, which was customarily worn with a removable boa. The accessory of that time already looked more like a scarf than an animal's skin. The boas were made of fur of fox, sable, marten and white fox.
Today, boas are made of artificial fur, woolen yarn and even fabric. But the most common and pleasant to touch remains a fur boa. It is often presented in the collections of famous brands and again becomes fashionable. So, Gucci and Nina Ricci offer to try on a boa from a dyed Arctic fox, Badgley Mischka and Bibhu Mohapatra included a mink boa in their collections. Equally fashionable was the fox fur hare, painted in sand and gray.
