Loving it ! June 14, 2010 Beverly Austin Vuncannon (somewhere in AZ) Rec. the Paisley Jacquard Shawl,and I am loving it.
I am completely satisfied with this product, the material is light weight, just as I needed to travel with during this time of the year. The fringe on the shawl adds to the beauty of it.
Recipient adored this scarf May 3, 2010 Elizabeth M. Needham (Virginia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for a friend who loves scarves and shawls and she claims it is her favorite.
The color and quality are very good, and it's a great buy for the money.
nice product March 6, 2010 Karyl Hubbard (Washington) Lovely soft wrap for cool evenings. My only gripe was that the color wasnt quite what I was expecting, but for the price, I'll just order another one.
Lovely, but not traditional pashmina February 25, 2010 S. Woodhouse (NC) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
You get what you pay for, and after losing a much-loved (and ancient) pashmina shawl, I ordered a couple of these to tide me over. Then I went down to my local East Asian market to look for something better, and found a whole heap of these jacquard ones for $10 each, so check around -- they were identical. Now, to be honest, I was under no illusion that at $16 a pop, these were traditional Nepalese pashmina, but they looked pretty in the photos, and they really are in person. As I understand it, the US has no standard for the term pashmina so people are selling heaven knows what with prices all over the board. At least these shawls did not hold static electricity like some so-called pashminas. But the tags are cheaply glued in, bright white, and impossible to remove without literally peeling half the fabric content away. (Traditional pashmina won't take glue, and the tags s/be lightly tacked w/thread at each corner.) If I had it to do over again, I'd just color these tags with a Sharpie to blend in. Still, I think for a pretty wrap for an evening out, these will do nicely. But don't kid yourself what they are. For a warm, durable pashmina that is designed to last a lifetime and will ward off the elements, shop elsewhere. And expect to pay at least $100 for a smallish, basic, machine-made version, and upwards of $400 for a traditional version. I am going to enjoy my cheapies as decorative accessories, but keep shopping for a workhorse pashmina. I'm thinking the Rocky Mt. Emporium here is the way to go. Looks like the real deal.
Exactly the same as shown in picture! February 1, 2010 Vera Lucia (Panama, Central America) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I liked this item... It's extremely soft as silk, yet gives good protection from cold, and it's pretty elegant. The colors are somehow brilliant, giving the pashmina a fancy appearance. I'm about to order a black one!
