I really like the feel of cashmere wraps and have several at home. The thickness of this wrap is medium and great for layering in the winter, autumn or cooler spring months. It is a beautiful and rich maroon color and "as depicted" in this picture. There isn't a sheen to this (like some other pashmina wraps may have), but it is genuine cashmere so I am happy with this purchase and the products that I have purchased form this company - Peach Couture. Price was reasonable too.
