"Muffs: A Timeless Winter Accessory" As the Christmas season arrives, children joyfully embrace the winter wonderland. Sledging down snowy hills and skating on frozen ponds, their rosy cheeks and bright smiles are only enhanced by their cozy muffs. In a vintage photograph captured by Florence Hardy, we catch a glimpse of two young girls named Princess Mary and Princess Helena of Teck gracefully gliding across an ice rink. Their elegant outfits completed with fur muffs exude regal charm. The year is 1937, and Harrods entices shoppers with an enchanting advertisement showcasing white fox capes and muffs. The luxurious accessories promise both warmth and style for those seeking sophistication during the holiday season. Moving through time to Charles Street in St. , we witness the bustling streets filled with people adorned in fashionable attire from the 17th to 18th century. Muffs become a staple accessory for both men and women, adding flair to their ensembles while protecting them from the biting cold. But it's not just humans who appreciate this cozy accessory. Two adorable alpacas steal hearts as they don heart-shaped ear-muffs, reminding us that even our furry friends deserve comfort during chilly days. Throughout history, fashion has seen its fair share of eccentricities. Hand-colored engravings from 1825 & 6 depict monstrosities - oversized muffs that seem more like burdens than practical accessories. Similarly, London dandies in Hyde Park during 1815 proudly displayed extravagant muff designs that raised eyebrows but showcased individuality. Fast forward to 1919 when International Fur Store captures attention with an enticing advert featuring an array of stylish muffs fit for every taste. From classic furs to modern designs, these accessories continue to evolve while remaining timeless symbols of elegance. Lastly, let us not forget Edward Lear's whimsical poem about "There was an Old Person of Mold, who shrank from sensations of cold.
