From time to time we receive calls from design houses, play houses and just good old neighborhood blue collar houses, requesting feather boas. Maybe they are looking for the large Las Vegas show girl styled ostrich feathered boas, or maybe the thin yet very fluffy fine down Marabou boas. Either way, they are searching for an adornment that has fallen in and out of fashion many times over the years and still carry a reputation of being elegant as well as seductive even today.
With a history dating back into the 17th century, feather boas have seen their highlights in the late Victorian and Edwardian era, the 1920’s the 1970s disco era, and into the 21st Century. Used on costumes, wrestlers, singers, and even the Red Hat Social Club, boas come in all shapes, sizes and colors to fit the personality type that is adorning them.
At J&O Fabrics, we take pride in offering our customers these feathery pieces of fashionable history in an array of shades for whatever the occasion. Even if the flirty chandelle feathers find no place in your closet, it will offer hours of role playing fun for your little daughter or grandchild.
