Don't Be Afraid To Use Ostrich Feather Boas
The use of an Ostrich Feather Boas to add elegance and class to the wardrobe has been a time honored tradition. Ostrich Feather Boas can not only add class and elegance but they have the ability to give a sense of mystery as well as humor as they gently grace the shoulders of women from all walks of life on their way to an evening of fun and great times with those they love.
The history of Ostrich Feather Boas can be seen from the royalty in ancient Egypt down through the royalty of modern Hollywood. In the United States, the people of Philadelphia in the 1600s would use these fashionable feathers to line muffs and women's bonnets for additional warmth during the cold winter months because these products were easier to work with and cheaper in price than other materials such as animal furs. The use of these types of boas in not singular to the United States but they are widely used in Europe as well.
From the 1800s to the 1940 Ostrich Feather Boas enjoyed a huge fashion trend especially during the "Roaring Twenties" as the styles of the Flappers and Speak-Easys became popular. The use of boas saw a decline in popularity until the early 1960s when they again became a popular fashion statement as more and more people became concerned with the issue of killing animals for their furs. The stately ostrich is many times used for its meat and oils but just as often the ostrich can be used for simply harvesting its feathers, in much the same way or similar way that sheep can be used for their wool without having to kill the animal. The feathers are harvested before permanent quilling takes place within the animal's skin. They are then harvested as early as 6 months of age and then again at one year of age.
