Could someone please translate this label and/or tell me something about this scarf? Thank you.

The label, shown upside down, reads:

中国
杭州织锦厂

China
Hangzhou Brocade Factory

Hangzhou is a Municipality on scenic West Lake (Xihu) and the capital of China's Zhejiang Province. Among other industries, I believe it is known for its textiles. The label uses simplified characters, suggesting your scarf dates to the People's Republic Era, or post-1949. Can't say much more about the scarf until you do more of a show & tell.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Your picture was upside down and you really should post the picture of your scarf instead of just a label.
