Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Instead, wipe with a damp cloth for minor stains or take it to a professional leather cleaner.

Most wool or cashmere shawls require hand washing or dry cleaning. Silk shawls should also be dry cleaned, while cotton or synthetic shawls are often machine washable.

Shawls can be made from a variety of materials, including wool, cashmere, silk, cotton, and synthetic fibers, each offering different warmth, texture, and appearance.

Leather jackets are warm, especially they’re lined or insulated. However, for extremely cold weather, consider layering or choosing a leather jacket designed specifically for winter.
