"Cachenés" Exhibition

Traditional costumes are representative of the experiences and practices of populations.

The use of scarves goes back in time and has reached our days, being seen as a practical, comfortable accessory, independent of clothing, comfortable and comfortable.

The cachené (scarf) consists fundamentally of a square of fabric that folds diagonally and drapes over the head; As with the shawl, the way of placing the scarf is very varied and allows personal effects of grace and true aesthetic composition to be achieved; there are four palms of fine wool or cotton; and yet, the benefit that the peasant woman and the fishmonger manage to derive from such a useful and simple ornament is extraordinary.

The way of placing the scarf documents personal taste and utilitarianism in the way of placing the scarf; we see it thrown loose upon the head; fallen backwards, held only by the hat lining the brim of the old hat, at the bottom; of spikes stuck in the brim of the hat; tying a simple knot in the front; tied at the top of the head; tied at the back, at the back of the neck; tied to the side; with ends crossed at the back and returning to the front; with crossed ends, without knots, embedded in the cover; scarf tied up and finally crossed on the chest, wrapping up.
