Holiday Gift Guide: FRAAS

Now that fall has arrived here in Georgia the mornings are cool. Cool enough for me to be about to wrap up in a sweater or shawl while having my morning coffee. When it gets cool I like to have my coffee on the back porch. It is nothing fancy but there is something about sitting on the porch and enjoying a wonderful hot cup of coffee or coco while it is cool out. I have a wonderful scarf/shawl from Fraas that is just the ticket for those cool mornings or event hose glamorous nights.

Last year scarf producer V. Fraas celebrated the completion of 130 years in business. Since its foundation in 1880 by Valentin Fraas, the world leader for mufflers and shawls has thrived and advanced under the control of his descendants. Fraas has bases in New York, Paris, London, Wustenselbitz, Toronto and Shanghai, with design teams traveling to major shows and forecasting seminars throughout the globe to identify new trends and develop products that are perfectly attuned to fashion and customer demand.

TESTING Fraas:

I received a black scarf/shawl to try out and I must tell you that it is so super soft and warm. I wrap up it around my shoulders in the morning and it is more than enough to keep me warm. I enjoy it so much. It washes very well. I found that out because I spilled some coffee on it one morning. I hung it to dry. The other thing that I really like about it is that you can wear it as a scarf as well. Any accessory that gives me two accessories in one is a plus in my book.
