This is a terrific value, for the money! My scarf is lovely and soft. It came nicely packaged with an unexpected bonus of a second color-coordinated scarf! I was thrilled to get the bonus, as the scarves are terrific! They are perfect for just about any occasion. I have seen criticism of these in other reviews, so I want to say: I am no judge of what a high-end Pashmina should be like, so I cannot compare. Considering the price, I think these are unlikely to be cashmere, but then again, I didn't want to spend $50 on a scarf. These are just as good as similar scarves I have seen in mall department stores. I just ordered two more as gifts, and plan to buy more for myself! I really appreciate this seller, as the product is nice, the shipping was fast, the packaging was attractive, and --- two for the price of one!
