Fashionistas have long been inspired by religious garments; from the bold crucifix necklaces to the Middle Eastern keffiyeh scarf.
Now, retailer H&M has released a new men’s accessory that has got the Jewish community talking.
Bearing a strong resemblance to a traditional tallit prayer shawl, the company has marketed a scarf priced at £12.99 that it describes as a light beige “scarf in soft fabric with woven stripes and fringes on the short sides”.
Writing on a pro-Israel group’s Facebook page, shopper Cheryl Hecker wrote: “I like it - stylish and observant at the same time.”
