Product Description

Traditional Portugal Ovenmitt. Use it as an everyday item. Safe, soft and flame retardant. This ovenmitt has the same padrons as the original Portuguese Valentine scarf, embroidered with various motifs. It is a piece of handicraft and clothing typical of the Minho, being used by women of marriageable age.

This habit was that the girl in love hand the Handkerchief of Valentine to her lover when he was absent. In verses embroidered handkerchiefs could have, in addition to various designs, some standardized, with symbols themselves. It was used as a rite of conquest. Once made​​, the scarf would eventually reach the possession of the beloved man, who would wear it in public as a way of showing that he had begun a relationship.

It is likely that the origin of "Handkerchiefs of Valentine," also called "Handkerchiefs Orders" is closely linked to the ladies handkerchiefs from the XVII - XVIII.
