Reference No. ST3813
The item I looked at in MoDa appears to be the collar to a garment. At an estimate the item was most likely produced between the 20's-40's. A Lively and bold block print covers the fabric with a simple leaf pattern. Around the edge is black finishing, which appears to be bias binding; preventing the fabric from fraying. However one edge is fraying as it appears this was where the collar was attatched to the garment. It is presumed that the collar was manufactured by a small workshop, possibly to show the print and how it can be incorporated into a garment.

This simple design can be considered similar to the leaf print shown on the collar. This work is produced from an earlier date but represents significant changes in design throughout the decades.

Although this print is produced using a different technique it has similar features to the collar. The pattern is bold and energetic and further presents a simplistic design.

This 30's print design shows similar qualities to the collar I looked at in MoDa. With it's energetic print it is further clear that this design was also produced for Silver Studio.

Possibly produced around 1935 this print is comparable to the leaf printed collar as it was also made by Silver Studio.

I feel this ensemble relates to the collar as it suggests how the collar would possibly be incorporated into a garment.
The collar further reminds me of a 40's housewife, still dressing up to do home chores.
