Product Insights
Fraas's Solid Ruana-Style Shawl, priced at $120 CAD, is an open-front garment that drapes to the body without armholes or fixed closure, enabling five distinct silhouettes including cape, one-shoulder, belted, scarf knot, and front-tie. Made from a cotton-polyamide-wool knit (70/20/10) that stretches and recovers shape, it offers a soft, non-scratchy feel with fluid drape, balanced warmth and breathability for year-round wear, and opacity to be worn alone. Hand wash cold and flat dry to prevent shrinking. As a fifth-generation German manufacturer supplying luxury brands, Fraas delivers a design that distinguishes from ponchos via its open-front slit. At $120, it costs about three times a Cashmink scarf but sits below luxury wraps.
