It later became a fashion item which could be purchased in several boutiques in the U.S. and even at mainstream retailers.

In 2007, Urban Outfitters, which was selling the scarves in several colours as "anti-war woven" pieces, pulled them from stores after it caused a controversy.

After the backlash, Topshop pulled the item from the website.

“Topshop is in the process of removing this style from sale," a spokesperson said.
