Handmade small shawl.
The small shawl is the indispensable accessory for a flamenco dress. It is the piece that goes with the flamenco dress and contributes to hide what the woman doesn't want to be seen or showing off the typical of gypsy dress.

In the flamenco fashion, the small shawl is a piece that aesthetically goes with the flamenco dress at the moment you are wearing the ensemble.

Although it is prettier the long fringe, it always depends on the design. If the flamenco dress is more for the morning performance, a bit short and young so a small shawl of short fringe will be better for you. Nevertheless, if we are talking about an important flamenco dress, with power and design, what will look special is a small flamenco shawl with long fringe and putting the fringes with two colours together. 

These small shawls are totally handicrafts. They come directly from Andalusia and are handmade.

The small shawls are made out under the basis of the fabric called kochibo, their fringes are dyed by and their gratings are worked with mixed skills as there are: the macramé, bobbins and closed knot

All the small shawls are made with ribbons not threads formed by a mix of poliamida and silk.

This means that we can wash it, the fringe doesn't ruin even wet.
