Sash (sash (costume accessory); Leo Madjarski (Polish textile master, 18th century); 1767/1780; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...)

Note: This sash is a product of one of the finest producers, founded in the city of Słuck, east of Warsaw. Sashes were worn folded in half lengthwise then wound around the waist over an outer coat. A Polish innovation was a double-sided main field with two colors on each face that enabled the wearer to extend his wardrobe by folding and tying his sash up to four different ways. The fashion of wearing sashes spread from Iran throughout the Ottoman and Mughal empires and by the late seventeenth century to eastern Europe where Iranian and Turkish textiles were status symbols. Eventually, the demand for silk sashes became so great in Poland that domestic manufactories were established.
