Frequently Asked

Products & Materials

Q: What are BomPomPom scarves made of?
Our scarves are woven from 100% natural cotton and crafted in Portugal. Each piece is soft, breathable, and designed to feel like a hug around your skin — cozy yet light enough for every season.

Q: Where are your products made?
All BomPomPom pieces are made in Portugal, by mills known for their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Q: Are your scarves pre-washed or will they shrink?
Yes, our scarves are pre-washed to ensure softness and reduce shrinkage. Because we use natural cotton fibers, a small amount of shrinkage (3–5%) can still occur over time — that’s just part of cotton’s charm. As you wear in your scarf, it will become softer over time.

Care & Maintenance

Q: How should I wash my BomPomPom scarf?
We recommend using a gentle machine wash in cold water, using a mesh laundry bag to prevent the delicate weave from catching on zippers or hooks of other garments. You can of course hand wash the scarves as well. Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to preserve softness and color. A quick iron will help smooth out the crinkles that will appear after a wash. 

Q: Do the scarves wrinkle easily?
Like any natural cotton fabric, a few soft wrinkles are normal — and part of their relaxed character. If you prefer a crisp look, use a warm iron or garment steamer.
