Shawl, hemmed at the edges. The light weave allowed it to be folded around the neck, tied across the head, or carried in a pocket. Today it works as a multipurpose accessory in hot cities or summer travel. In French Guiana, where Eugène Le Moult spent his youth, such shawls were valued for their adaptability in the equatorial climate, keeping sun off the head, absorbing sweat, or serving as a quick cover during sudden rainfall.
French Guiana’s equatorial position brings heat above 30 °C, humidity near saturation, and heavy rainfall most months of the year. A cloth as small as a bandana could be critical in such conditions, doubling as head covering, sweat cloth, or rain shield. Everyday adaptations like this made tropical wear fundamentally different from what Parisian ateliers were producing a century ago.
