> What size is best if I want it for a skirt or dress?

It depends on your style. The small size (120 x 120 cm) creates a fluid drape, while the standard size (140 x 140 cm) offers a more enveloping and sophisticated look. Both are easily adjustable to achieve your desired shape. We recommend choosing the standard size unless you're not interested in wearing it in other shapes and aren't comfortable with it. If you're under 1.55 m tall, we also recommend the small size.

> Is it uncomfortable to carry it around the whole party?

Not at all. Our clasps are designed to ensure the shawl stays perfectly secured without the need to readjust it, allowing you to move freely and enjoy the event without worry.

> Won't it be too heavy?

No. Because they are printed, not embroidered, our shawls are lightweight and comfortable, offering the majesty of a classic shawl without the extra weight.

> If it's hot that day, won't I be able to wear it?

Of course. If it's hot, you can fold it into a rectangle and wear it over one shoulder for a cool and sophisticated look. Silk breathes and adapts to any climate.

> I love shawls, but I'm wearing a printed dress to the wedding. How do I style it?

You don't have to choose between your dress and your shawl. Our designs include options with geometric patterns and neutral colors that harmonize with prints, creating an elegant ensemble without being overwhelming. Also, remember that we can customize your design to suit your look if you send us a WhatsApp message. And we'll do it for free.

> Where can I see the different styles of wearing it?

Further down this page you can see a video by Sandra Majada and the different possible styles for your shawl.

> Can I exchange it if I don't like it when it arrives?

We don't want you to feel like you're taking a risk. Absolutely yes, we want you to have the perfect shawl for you. If it's not what you expected, you can easily exchange it for another model within our return policy.

> Can it arrive sooner than 15 days? I have an event in 7 days.

We know there are unrepeatable events. If you need your shawl sooner, contact us via WhatsApp and we'll do everything possible to get it to you on time.

> Do you ship outside of Spain?

Yes, we ship to several countries. We want the essence of Altermanila to reach everyone in the world, regardless of the distance.

> I was given an Altermanila shawl, but I like another one from the catalog better. Can I exchange it for another one?

Of course. We want you to fall in love with your shawl, so if you prefer a different style, we'll be happy to change it so you have the one that truly reflects your style.

Since it's silk, can I wash it at home? Or do I have to send it to the dry cleaner?

Our shawls are designed for easy care without losing their beauty. You can hand wash them with warm water and mild soap. Silk remains flawless without the need for dry cleaning.

> The shawl is a bit wrinkled. How do I make it look immaculate?

If you notice any wrinkles after your trip, just a little steam from your iron and they'll be perfect in seconds. Natural silk smooths easily and regains its fluid drape effortlessly.

> Can fringes get tangled?

No. We've designed our shawls with 30cm fringes (15cm for our fall shawls), the ideal length for a graceful, tangle-free drape. Plus, their hand-knitted construction prevents annoying knots, ensuring an elegant and fluid movement.
