This scarf is inspired by the paulownia flower, with the blend of blue and white evoking the "April snow" that drifts through the mountains in spring. Natural textures emerge from the repetitive dyeing and drying processes, flowing as softly as mist. In Hakka culture, the paulownia flower symbolizes purity and longing, as well as the memory of the land and seasons. When the serene tones of indigo meet the imagery of the paulownia flower, the fabric resembles a gentle mountain landscape, weaving nature and culture into everyday life. **Product Details** This hand-dyed paulownia flower scarf is crafted by local Taiwanese artisans using traditional indigo dyeing techniques. Through multiple immersions, oxidations, and drying processes, the natural dyes create intermingled shades of blue on the fabric. Paired with the paulownia flower motif, the overall design exudes a fresh and elegant cultural charm. The scarf's fabric is soft and lightweight, draping gracefully when worn. The blue and white tones complement the skin tone and add depth to any outfit. It can be lightly draped around the neck in spring and autumn for a stylish touch, used as a shawl to shield from the sun in summer, or paired with a coat in winter for a soft contrast. Delicate tassels sway gently with movement, adding an elegant and dynamic flair. Whether paired with minimalist clothing or artistic ensembles, it allows for a subtle yet culturally rich personal style. **Product Information** Item No.: 307-1008 Product Name: Indigo-Dyed Paulownia Flower Scarf Dimensions: 70x200cm Material: Cotton-linen blend, Indigo Origin: Taiwan Manufacturing Method: Handmade Production Time: Approximately two weeks (excluding holidays) As this is a handmade piece by an indigo dyeing artisan, it requires repeated dyeing and oxidation to achieve such distinct blue and white colors.

Prepare warm water (30-50°C) and add a mild detergent. Soak the fabric for 5-10 minutes. Step 2. Gently rub any particularly soiled areas with your hands. Step 3. For general washing, simply rinse gently in water. Avoid harsh rubbing or twisting. Step 4. Yellowish-brown pigments will dissolve during washing. Discard the yellowish-brown water. Step 5. Finally, rinse with clean water 2-3 times. When the water turns blue, stop rinsing to prevent color bleeding and fading. Step 6. Air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. If exposed to sunlight, turn the fabric inside out, facing outwards, and do not expose for more than 30 minutes. **| Prohibitions |** 1. Do not use strong detergents or bleach during washing. 2. Do not use brushes for scrubbing. 3. Do not machine wash the fabric. **| Storage Method |** 1. After washing and air-drying the fabric, it can be ironed. Then, store it in a paper bag, plastic bag, or zip-lock bag in a dark place (e.g., a closet). 2. The fabric will oxidize with air, releasing a yellowish pigment, causing the product to appear slightly pale yellow. You can wash it again using the method described above, and the blue luster will become more vibrant and enduring.
