Bonnet Helga - Burgundy

The Helga Bonnet is made of 100% cotton with a half-circle round brimmed hood. This garment is easy to wear and is a perfect addition for an authentic medieval costume.

Popular during the mid 15th century, round hoods were worn by townswomen, senior servants and ladies at home. They not only protected the wearer?s hair from dirt and weather during work, but also signified a woman?s status. In the Middle Ages, only unmarried women were allowed to wear their hair uncovered. A married woman without headgear was considered a ""loose woman."" Hoods in many colors and shapes are an integral part of any costume.
