To use this shawl, you can drape it over your shoulders for a cozy and stylish look. It's great for both casual outings and more formal events. When it comes to maintenance, hand - wash it in cool water to keep its shape and texture intact. Gently squeeze out the water instead of wringing it. Lay it flat to dry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the colors. Also, store it folded in a cool, dry place to prevent any damage.
