How To Care For Your Alexander McQueen Scarf
Alexander McQueen scarves are made from mostly natural materials, such as silk and wool. Many pieces from the Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf collection are 100% silk, and the jacquard style scarves are either 100% wool or made with a wool and silk blend.
All scarves are dry clean only and should not be machine washed. For stains, seek the help of a professional cleaning service. When not in use, store your scarf safely and away from damp or direct heat. When wearing, avoid contact with jewelry or embellishments on clothing as this can snag the scarf.
