Box For Glasses Valentine "Lovers" Scarf
Keep your eyewear safe in a Terra Lusa glasses case, featuring a charming Valentine Scarf design. Originating in the 17th century among the Portuguese nobility as “marriage proposal handkerchiefs,” these embroidered tokens of love later became popular among common folk as a way to start dating.
Young girls learned embroidery at an early age and used their skills to express admiration for their sweethearts. Men would wear the handkerchief in public to show their commitment before leaving on sea journeys to former colonial provinces.
Today, the craft is certified by a regional committee that evaluates the motifs, threads, size, and colors of each handkerchief. Our glasses cases are part of a collection that pays tribute to Portugal’s rich cultural heritage, with products inspired by 800 years of history, culture, and tradition.
