You get what you paid for. I was shocked to find such a cheap hip scarf when all others are $20 minimum. Everything about the scarf is great, and I would definately say it is worth the money... But when you lay out my scarf next to my friend's scarf you can tell that the base material is much better on hers. Mine has just as many coins and even a prettier pattern of them sewn in, but the material is clearly not going to last as long. Still, great buy!!
