◆ Softest, Most Wonderful Texture! ◆ Banshu-ori Shawl That You Can Wash and Customize This is a stole made from Banshu-ori, a high-quality cotton fabric from Hyogo Prefecture, famous throughout Japan. I purchased it at the Banshu-ori Exhibition in Nishiwaki City, the home of Banshu-ori. This shawl is sold with the interesting concept that the more you wash it, the softer the cotton becomes, allowing you to cultivate it into your own favorite shawl. I've washed it once and it's already become fluffy, and I think I can nurture it even more to my liking (o^―^o) I bought the white one, but it also looks like a pale blue. The shop staff told me that it would also be stylish to dye it your favorite color. It's a large, long shawl, but it's incredibly lightweight and feels wonderfully soft when you wrap it around your neck. Cotton stoles are versatile enough to be used year-round. In the summer, you can carry it in your bag and wear it as a light cover-up for air conditioning, and in the winter, it traps layers of air to stylishly warm your neck. Having one large, long stole is very convenient and you can use it for a long time. Size: 88cm x 194cm
