Why cranberry works
Cranberry is a deep, slightly cool red — richer and more refined than a classic burgundy, more restrained than a true bright red. It reads as a jewel tone rather than a bold colour statement, which is why it photographs beautifully against ivory and white dresses without competing with them. It's the choice for brides and bridesmaids who want colour without warmth-overload, and for weddings where the palette leans rich, deep, and seasonal.
Dresses and palettes it pairs with
Cranberry pairs exceptionally well with ivory silk, champagne satin, and warm-toned gowns. For bridesmaids, it coordinates with the signature autumn jewel-tone palettes — burgundy, deep plum, emerald, rust, gold, bronze — and winter palettes with rich colour accents. Mothers of the bride choose cranberry when the wedding palette calls for warmth, depth, and seasonal colour.
When and where to wear it
Cranberry is a signature autumn and winter wedding shawl — it suits October through February ceremonies, evening receptions, candlelit venues, and weddings where the colour palette is seasonal and rich. Also a strong choice for vineyard, countryside, and heritage-style weddings. For summer or beach ceremonies with bright white dresses, a lighter shade usually photographs better.
Beyond the wedding
Cranberry is one of the most wearable jewel tones in any wardrobe — it pairs effortlessly with camel, navy, cream, black, denim, and autumn/winter layers. Works beautifully for evening wear, holiday events, and cooler-month daily wear. A memorable statement piece that reads elegant rather than loud.

How refunds work
Refunds are approved for items returned in new, unworn condition with no marks, perfume, or makeup residue. Refunds are issued to the original payment method only, once the returned shawl reaches us. Please allow up to 10 days for the credit to appear in your account after we confirm receipt.
International returns
We ship worldwide and accept returns from every country, but we cannot offer free returs for international orders — local couriers vary too much to standardize. We’ll happily work with you to find the most affordable return route, and we’ll confirm your refund as soon as the shawl arrives back with us.
Shipping address and failed delivery
Please double-check your shipping address at checkout — full street, building/apartment number, postcode, city, country, and optionally a working phone number for the courier. Most failed deliveries come from a missing apartment number or an unreachable phone number, not from the courier.
If your shawl is returned to us because the address was incomplete or incorrect, or because the parcel was held at a pickup point or local depot and never collected within the courier’s standard holding window, we cannot re-ship it for free. You’ll need to cover the cost of the second shipment, or we can refund the order minus the original shipping cost we already paid.
How to avoid a return in the first place — order a fabric sample
The #1 reason brides return a shawl is a color mismatch with the wedding dress, especially inside the white family (Pure White, Ivory, Pearl, Cream Melange). Phone and laptop screens display whites very differently from real life.
If you are unsure which shade matches your dress, please order a fabric sample first. Samples are 5×5 cm squares of the actual shawl fabric, cost less than €2 each, and ship free when you order 3 or more. One sample order saves most returns.
Exchanges
We don’t process exchanges as a single transaction. If you’d like a different color or product, please place a new order for the shawl you want and return the original one using the steps above. This is faster for you — your replacement shawl ships immediately instead of waiting for the return to reach us.
Damaged items
In the unlikely event that your shawl arrives damaged or shows a quality issue, please contact us at returns@cosyllama.com within 14 days of delivery, with photos if possible. We’ll replace the shawl or refund it in full, whichever you prefer.
Cancelling an order
If you need to cancel an order, email returns@cosyllama.com or simply reply to the order confirmation email as soon as you can. We’ll happily cancel anything that hasn’t shipped yet. Once a shawl has shipped, it falls under the standard return process above.
A note on handmade variation
Every Cosy Llama shawl is hand-woven from 100% baby alpaca in our family workshop in Ecuador. A natural trait of hand-crafted items is that every piece is unique, so you may find small variations in tone, texture, or finish between shawls. These are part of the craft, not flaws, and are not grounds for return.
Questions before you buy?
If you’re unsure about color, sizing, or delivery timing, email contact@cosyllama.com before ordering. We reply quickly and we’d much rather help you get it right the first time.
A baby alpaca wedding shawl is a classic gift for a bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, or mother of the groom — and unlike most wedding gifts, it stays in use for decades after the big day.
The recipient will wear it as a scarf, evening wrap, and travel layer for years, and may eventually pass it down.
Add a free gift message at checkout (in the order notes field) and we'll print it on a card and include it in the package.
Lavar a mano con agua fría, puede lavarse a máquina en un programa delicado o de lana a 30°.
➤ Secado
Una vez que su producto de alpaca esté lavado y centrifugado, dele forma y séquelo en plano, evitando la luz solar directa.
➤ Planchado
Recomendamos usar un vaporizador. Si utiliza una plancha, coloque una toalla sobre el producto y plánchelo a baja temperatura.

La alpaca es como el cabello y puede volverse un poco encrespada con el tiempo. Para restaurar su producto de alpaca a su estado original, cepíllelo en la dirección de las fibras con un cepillo de cerdas suaves. Luego aplique vapor en la misma dirección.
