If the process described below does not suit you, dry cleaning will be perfect to take care of your shawl.  

HOW TO WASH YOUR SHAWL SAFELY:

Dissolve a little quantity of mild detergent - like gentle shampoo or woolen soap - with cold or lukewarm water (at 30 °C /86 °F maximum)

Submerge the shawl in the water and move it gently for a few minutes. Do not use fabric softener and rinse the shawl very well by running cool water through it to remove the soap.

You can then take out extra water by applying gentle pressure. NEVER RING, NEVER TWIST.

Remove the excess water by rolling the shawl in a clean towel.

Preferably lay it flat. If not possible, fold it once or twice to prevent the fibres to be stretched too much and hang it on the clothes line in avoiding direct sun or any proximity to heat sources.

Once dry, if available, the shawl can be steamed which will fluff the fibres. Otherwise, it can be ironed with a warm iron.

 

Please note that many of our shawls and blankets are handspun and handmade of natural fibers, so occasional irregularities may occur in the weave or embroidery. These should not be considered as imperfections; rather they enhance the individuality of each piece.

You may return any purchase if you are not satisfied. We will fully refund you or give you the opportunity of re-fulfilling your order. However, return shipping cost will be refunded only in the event that there was an oversight, i.e., you have received a shawl or blanket that does not match the one in the order confirmation or the item has a genuine quality or production defect.

Otherwise, the customer is responsible for the shipping charges connected to the return of any item, as well as the responsibility of returning the item securely.
