For the price I paid ($16) , this was a wonderful stole!  I wore it to a 1920's speakeasy event, and I received compliments from total strangers.  It kept me warm on a frigid San Francisco summer night and was absolutely perfect for what I needed it for.  I tried a lot of other wraps and stoles, and this one was not only the best, but the best price.  If you want something heirloom quality, this isn't it, but if you want something that will do the job and will look good in the near future for a good price, this is the one.
