This shawl was beautifully crafted. The material feels supple and soft to the touch and when worn it gives you an elegant look of sophistication. The only complaint that I have about this piece is that the pattern on the border is one sided so it has to be worn with it facing out; I would have liked it to be on both sides. However, for the price I paid for it, the quality could not be beat! I have a few more of these in different colors on my wishlist already!
