FAQs
What is the primary material of this cape?
The cape is made from a blend of 75% wool and 25% silk.
How should I wash this cape?
It requires hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent suitable for delicates. Do not wring; lay flat to dry.
What does 'self-ties' closure mean?
It means the cape has fabric ties that you knot or tie yourself to fasten it, allowing for adjustable closure.
Is this cape suitable for cold weather?
While made of wool, its flowing and open design means it is best suited as a stylish layer for moderate temperatures or indoor events, rather than heavy winter protection.
Where is this cape made?
This cape is made in China.
Can I machine wash or dry clean this item?
Due to the delicate wool and silk blend, machine washing and drying are not recommended. Dry cleaning might be an option, but always refer to the specific care label if available, or opt for gentle hand washing.
What sizes are available for this cape?
This specific item is size M. Other available sizes include XS, S, L, and a children's size 4.
Troubleshooting
Cape appears stretched or misshapen after washing
Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and avoiding any wringing or twisting. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping the garment while damp.
Fabric feels rough or loses its sheen
This could be due to using the wrong type of detergent or washing in water that is too hot. Always use a mild detergent for delicates and cold water. Consider using a fabric conditioner specifically for wool and silk if needed.
Tie fastening is difficult to secure
Ensure the fabric is not bunched or twisted where the tie is being fastened. If the fabric is too smooth, a double knot may offer more security.
