Bought these pashminas as gifts and the recipients were floored with their softness.  That they were made with Bamboo also made them seem a little more exotic.  I did on-line shopping for the holidays, so I haven't actually seen/felt these for myself. In  addition to the recipients' coments,  my hubz (who gave the gifts!) felt the material and ooh'd and ahhh'd too  BIG HIT!  (and haven bought some in the past, good price too!)
