This is a snood made from vintage fabric. There is some fraying of the fabric (see photo 5). Therefore, this item is listed as [defective]. Please purchase only if you understand and accept this. I have a cat. I will take great care when packaging, but there is a possibility of cat hair getting mixed in. Please refrain from purchasing if you have a cat allergy or if you are looking for a perfect item. This is a layman's inspection. There may be oversights. Packaging may use recycled materials and will be sent compactly (may be compressed). Please purchase only if you understand and accept the above.
