"Very Versatile"

I love this mask. Even though Ive made a few masks of my own to go with different outfits, I find myself wearing this most often. I dont know if its supposed to be reversible, but it seems to be. I wear the patterned side with solid colors and the berry colored side with my prints. I gave it four stars instead of five because the elastic is a little thick and can be uncomfortable, especially if youre wearing glasses. The masks I made for myself have a slightly narrower elastic. But I do love it, and love wearing something handmade in Africa.

"I bought both version to brighten my lockdown!"

These are very effective and comfortable which makes our challenge with the COVID-19 virus more acceptable. The fabric pattern on mine is different but just as attractive. I hand was mine with mild detergent, air dry them, and use my clothes steamer or steam iron on them. I have not had any facial irritation with these as I had with some of my other masks.
