About Our Face Masks

About Our Face Masks

We’re all trying to go the extra mile right now to stay safe and sanitary in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Part of that is covering our faces in public. Masks are quickly becoming a necessary accessory, so we are now giving a FREE coordinating face mask with the purchase of each signature scarf. 


Our 200-thread count cotton sateen face coverings are silky soft against your skin and printed with permanent reactive inks so they won’t fade even after endless washes.  Our cotton sateen fabric is made in a factory with OEKO-TEX  Certification for standardized and safe working conditions.  All  finishing chemicals used in our reactive print process are Blue Sign and  GOTS certified.  


Masks feature a stainless-steel nose piece to ensure a tight fit, and soft fabric elastic that can be adjusted to fit your head shape. They have an internal filter pocket which acts as the double layer of fabric while also allowing you to insert a filter suited to your needs.  Two filters are included with each mask. They are available in adult sizes small, medium, large, and extra-large and youth sizes small, medium, and large. See below to learn how to measure for your mask.


We have adapted the artwork on our signature scarves to create coordinating accessories. The outside of the mask carries the artwork, while the inside has an inspirational quote  just for the wearer...just because we all need a little inspiration these days.


Please Note:

This NOT an N-95 mask, surgical mask, or for medical use. The use of this face covering is not a guarantee against infection or the transmission of viruses or diseases and SHOULD be used in addition to practicing CDC recommendations on hand-washing and social distancing. This is a personal use item and cannot be returned.

How to Measure for Your Mask

It’s important that your face covering fits as snug as possible to  your face. Take some time to do the following measurements before you  order. Don’t assume that your face size is similar to your clothing  size! Face shapes can vary significantly from person to person


Measure from the beginning of one ear, over the tip of your nose, to the start of your other ear. Use the guide below to select your correct size.


SIZE                                                                                EAR-TO-EAR OVER NOSE

Adult X-Large                                                           30.5 cm            12 in 

Adult Large                                                                29 cm                11.5 in

Adult Medium                                                          27.5 cm            11 in

Adult Small                                                                26 cm                 10.25 in

Youth Large                                                               25 cm                 10 in

Youth Medium                                                         23.5 cm             9.25 in  

Youth Small                                                                22 cm                 8.75 in 

About the PM2.5 Filters

An Extra Layer of Protection

 PM2.5 filters filter out particles that are as small as 2.5 microns.  Virus particles are even smaller than 2.5 microns. However by including a  filter in your mask, whether it is a PM2.5 filter or another filter,  you are adding extra layers of protection to your cloth face covering.  


Each of the PM2.5 filters are made of 5 layers of cloth, including two  layers of meltblown cloth and one layer of activated carbon cloth to  provide excellent filtration. Typically used to prevent the inhalation  of air pollution particulates, PM2.5 can help increase effectiveness of  non-medical face coverings.


• PM2.5 filters are not equivalent to N95 masks. N95 masks capture  95% of airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns. PM2.5 filters capture  particles matter larger than 2.5 microns.
 

• PM2.5 filters can be used continuously for 16-24 hours, or for 1-2 weeks when used occasionally. 

Two PM2.5 filters are included with each face mask. Additional ones are available to purchase at the time of ordering.
