Notice about SheddingChandelle boas are bound to shed a few feathers because turkey feathers are heavy and there are too many feathers sewed into one rope. To minimize shedding, we recommend that you open the package OUTDOORS. Shake the boas gently but firmly to remove the excess feathers formed during processing and shipping. Hang the chandelle boa for 3-4 hours and more, better in the sun, will help them revitalize and regain fluffiness.
