Doreen comments on Possrino® garments:
"They have stood up very well to use and are
extremely 'easy care'.
They bulk up with washing and when washed as per the
instructions, only become fluffier and even warmer, and
they do not shrink.
They take very little space when packed. Once unpacked, a
vigorous shake is all that's needed to
bulk them up again."
Features and Finish:
Possrino® Garments are all hand
crafted and feature a high
standard of finish.
An example of unique attention to detail is shown to the right
in the form of edging applied to scarves and many of the wraps,
ponchos and capes. We call it "Snail Trail Edging" |
