Unless Himalayan goats have learned to grow Rayon, this is not a genuine Pashmina. But neither are almost all of the other scarves or shawls sold on Amazon.

You can get lost comparing all the items billed as Pashminas being sold these days. I can save you the time and trouble. Just buy this one. Why? For a few reasons.

First, the price. When I bought one this past week, I found several that seemed appealing. This was $9.99 and was fullfilled by Amazon. So if you have Prime, $9.99 will be your total. Other vendors will charge $5-$10 for shipping.

Second, the selection. They are available in many attractive colors.

Third, the bonus scarf. For your $10, you get the Pashmina, a 27" wide scarf/shawl, and a lightweight scarf of the same color. If you're buying it as a gift, you can give both or enjoy the scarf for yourself.

Lastly, comfort and quality. These are made of Rayon. Most seem to be made of non-natural materials. These are well made, soft, and comfortable.

Before I bought this one, I'd never heard of Pashmina. One came up in a Gold Box deal and was reduced from $16.99 to $12.99. Four of the six available colors were offered. When I looked at the product page I noticed that the two colors not offered in the deal were selling for $7.99. So much for deals. Since I passed on the Gold Box deal, I decided to look farther. That's when I found dozens from various vendors and settled on this one given the good reviews, price, and Prime shipping. I figured for $10, I'd take a chance. I'm glad I did. In fact I'm getting a few more in different colors, or the intended gift recipient may not get hers.

I am delighted with this purchase!!!
