Leaves of each season reflecting and forever held in each scarf.

Wear it gently. Wash only if you must. Do not dry clean. A gentle hand-wash in cold water with a drop of ph balanced organic shampoo. Air dry in the shade. Place a towel over your scarf before a cool ironing. Store in a hanging position. Keep out of direct sunlight. Wear with love.
