This is a long, vertical chiffon scarf, making it easy to wrap. The material isn't specified on a tag, so it's unclear. It's likely silk or polyester. I like polyester because it's easy to handle. It has a chic color scheme with various classical buildings depicted, forming a single pattern. There may be some shrinkage. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. The material is unknown, so the price is reduced.
