At Melifluos, we believe that style should be accessible to everyone. That's why we're here to solve a common dilemma faced by every shopper: finding a piece of clothing that are both stylish and affordable. Tired of the choice between fleeting, run-of-the-mill scarves and overpriced designer options, we founded Melifluos in 2014, right from our college dorm in Los Angeles. Our mission is simple: to create beautifully designed clothing pieces that elevate your style without breaking the bank. Our business model is straightforward: by working directly with fashion designers in Spain and partnering with top-tier manufacturers, we ensure quality craftsmanship and exquisite designs. By offering our products directly to you on Walmart, we eliminate middlemen and unnecessary expenses, passing the savings on to you. Since our inception, we've received over 30,000+ compliments from customers who feel their fashion style has been elevated with our products. Not only do our fashion pieces exude elegance and charm, but they also instill confidence, knowing you've found a high-quality accessory at an affordable price. We stand behind our products with a 30-day free return policy, because we believe you deserve to feel confident and stylish without compromise. Extra Versatile: Measuring 48" x 48", our ponchos are perfect for everyday wear and travel. Use them as a travel blanket, a stylish shawl for warmth on a plane or in the office, or as elegant accessories for weddings. The possibilities are endless! Luxurious Material: Melifluos shawls are made with 100% viscose derived from bamboo, a fabric that is warm, cashmere-like soft, and kinder to your skin and the environment. Elegant Design: Elevate your style with our versatile Spanish-inspired shawls. Whether on a plane, cruise or train, out for a casual walk, commuting, or attending formal events, our shawls ensure you look elegant on every occasion. Designed in Spain: We believe that elevating your fashion style is not hard; you just need a beautifully designed shawl that makes you stand out in the sea of run-of-the-mill ones.
Priced at $37, the Melifluos Reversible Wrap Poncho provides multiple outfits and can be used as a travel blanket.
"We searched high and low for these," Glassman said. "These are the prefect poncho."
