FAQs

Can I wash my travel scarf in a machine?

Many are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but hand washing is safest to preserve color and texture. Always check the care label.

How do I match a scarf to my midi dress?

Choose a complementary color or subtle print that enhances your dress without clashing. Neutrals pair with most outfits.

What is the best way to pack it?

Roll the scarf instead of folding to minimize wrinkles and save space in your bag.

What if my scarf gets wet while traveling?

Most lightweight fabrics dry quickly. Lay flat or hang in a ventilated area until fully dry before storing.
