This is a very beautiful cashmere scarf. I say it is one sided, the pattern is strong on only the one side.  The reverse it is a faded duplicate. For me this is a none issue but do be aware.  The cashmere is very soft and feels thick & substantial. For me it is the perfect length and width to wear as a small wrap & also as a scarf. I'm 5 feet 2 inches so many pieces can overwhelm me.  I'm very pleased with the piece and have high expectations that with care it should last a very long time.  One word to the wise though, if you are buying this as a gift to give you may not be able to present it in the packaging it arrives in.  Mine was quite badly damaged, by the looks of it from people opening the envelope and resealing most likely for return.  For the money I did expect pristine packaging!
