Went to Paris to celebrate my birthday, looked in all the souvenir shops for a scarf to mark the occasion and give to 2 of my friends as a thank you for pet-sitting, etc. Never found one in Paris, but was delighted when I saw this on Amazon.  Nice feel- not too light, not too stiff, long enough, but not too long.  Seems to be well-made and finished nicely (no loose threads, bad hems, etc.) Very happy with my purchase!
