I am originally from New Orleans but moved to San Diego to be near my grandchildren and when Mardi Gras comes around I like to send things to their school so that their classes can celebrate Mardi Gras.  I usually get beads and masks and also a New Orleans King Cake.  I bought some inexpensive masks but then saw these and decided to try them.  I liked them so much I went back twice and ordered more (from three different vendors, I think). They are perfectly lovely and were a big hit with the kids.  I highly recommend them.
