Travelling with baby alpaca accessories requires a little care to preserve their softness, avoid creases and protect them from rubbing.
Here are the best techniques for folding, securing and transporting your Chaska Paris items with complete peace of mind.
‘How to fold your baby alpaca accessories
Fold a stole or plaid:
– Lay thestole or plaid flat.
– Fold in half lengthways to reduce the width.
– Fold again into three or four parts, depending on the desired size.
– Roll gently instead of folding if you want to avoid crease marks.
Tip: Place it in the pouch or Chaska Paris supplied with your purchase.
Folding a poncho:
– Lay the poncho flat with the collar snug.
– Fold the sides towards the centre to make a rectangular shape.
– Fold in two or three depending on the space available.
– Roll up the poncho if you need to take it with you in hand luggage.
Tip: Place it in the pouch or Chaska Paris supplied with your purchase.
Securing your Travel Accessories
– Use your Chaska Paris cotton pouch or totebag.
– Avoid plastic bags , which retain moisture and can damage the fibre.
– Place them flat on top of your suitcase to avoid them being crushed by other objects.
– If you’re travelling by plane, take your stole or poncho with you in the cabin: it can also be used as a blanket during the flight!
How do I remove creases after travelling?
If your baby alpaca accessory has a few creases after transport:
– Shake it gently and let it air out for a few hours.
– Use a low-temperature steam iron to relax the fibres
. Hang it in the bathroom during a hot shower to enjoy the natural steam.
