Description
This beautiful cream/oatmeal v-neck poncho features an airy, open crochet-style knit perfect for layering. It is detailed with a pointed hemline and playful long fringe along the edges. The relaxed silhouette makes it a versatile piece for festivals, beach outings, or bohemian street style. One size fits most.
Key Features
Bohemian/Boho-Chic aesthetic; trending 'Coastal Grandmother' and 'Festival' styles; neutral versatile color; breathable open-knit construction; heavy fringe detailing.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence Level: Medium. The garment tag is partially visible but unreadable in the photo. Look for a fiber content tag to confirm if it is natural fiber (higher value) or synthetic.
Flaws to Note
Risk of snags or pulled threads due to the open-knit nature. Fringe tends to frizz or mat over time; check for small stains which are common on light-colored knits.
Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Crochet,' 'Festival,' 'Coachella,' and 'Hippie.' Take photos over a dress or bikini top to show layering potential. Steam the fringe to ensure it looks straight and well-maintained before photographing.
