This scarf is made of the poorest quality ever!! I would rate it a zero star if I could. The material is very thin, nearly transparent. There were loose strings and the color of the scarf was blemished. You will be much better off paying a few extra dollars for an authentic pashmina scarf from a department store. Of all my buying experiences from Amazon.com, this has been the only one that disappointed me. Trust the negative reviews, the pictures are misleading!!!!!
