I bought this scarf for my 55 year old mother. She opened the box and loved it immediately. I felt the scarf was not as vibrant as the picture and the colors were not as sharp. The colors appeared to be too similar. But it was still a lovely scarf and I was still happy with my purchase. The texture is very soft. The scarf is long but not too long. And wide but not too wide. It's perfect for wrapping and/or knotting around the neck. Great price.  I would highly recommend this scarf.
