I read the reviews for this item before making an order thinking, "well how bad can it really be?"  Apparently pretty embarrasing.

Ok, just to set a background on myself.  I used to have a novelty distributing business for convenience stores in my local area and having such, had access to hundreds of wholesale vendors selling cheep knockoff items.  I rate this as such and know they couldn't have paid more than $5 for each scarf.

So lets begin with false advertising.
Pashmina:  refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it.
This item: Acrylic 55% Viscose 45% (Cashmere???, I think not)

Next up is quality: I received these scarfs in a well packed shipping box.  Inside I found three clear plastic bags which I promply took the scarfs out of. (I'm gifting these and do not want the packaging to show how truly cheep these scarfs are)  Since I read the reveiws before I purchased, I went ahead and opened each scarf to check the quality of the weave.

I had to carefully cut many loose threads from these very loosely woven scarves.  Any slight tug would deform the surrounding fabric, which is dissapointing. I love to wear jewelry and I know the women that are getting these also wear jewelry.  I forsee these easily being snagged by necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets if they even have one slightly rough surface. And once this happens, it will start a domino effect of snags and puckers.

Visual impression: I purchased the Black/Red; Black/White; Gray.
The Black/Red one is by far the prettiest, because you can actually see the designs in the scarf.  The other two look almost identical, although the Black/White one has slightly more color in it. They look washed out and have very little detail.

Fabric Feel:  The discription of this item says "double layer".  It is accurate, although the fabric is so thin, it feels like a single layer.  The outside is a little rough, not soft like Pashmina (so I don't know how they even get away with calling it that) The inside is a little softer, but not by much.  Not for keeping you warm on those really cold days, but would keep a slight breeze for biting your skin.

Final impressions:  Would I purchase again? No!  Would I recommend to anyone else? No!  I don't even thing I would consider these as a cheep gift for those people on your list who you would feel bad if you got nothing for them.  Just don't waste your money, because this scarf is not built to last.  If you want it for a one time wear, it may be possible, but I don't think $20 is worth it.
