FAQs

How do I style my scarf?

Wrap once and knot loosely at the front, drape over shoulders as a shawl, or tie as a headscarf. Simple knots refresh your look quickly.

Can I wear the same dress multiple days with one scarf?

Yes. Rotate neutral and patterned scarves to create fresh outfits with the same base dress.

What size works best for versatility?

Around 70 x 180–200 cm gives enough fabric for wraps, shawls, and neck ties.

How do I minimize wrinkles when packing?

Roll instead of fold and place between soft items. Hang briefly at your destination.
