Was a gift for my daughter. She absolutely adores it!!!!!My classroom is a corner room with many windows. While the sunlight and the view are great, it can get pretty chilly. This soft, warm shawl is perfect for wrapping myself up in as I teach the class. I have also worn this as a fashion accessory to restaurants which I find can be rather cold at this time of year. The shawl does double duty- it looks great and keeps me toasty. I love it.This is a very good shawl to keep at work, which always seems to be quite cold. My only complaint is that I wish it were just a little bit larger, in order to provide more coverage.This was a HOMERUN purchase! My wife liked the way it fit and draped around her shoulders as well as the warmth and attractiveness of the shawl. She requested something in the brown family of colors and this was a great choice with her strawberry blonde hair color. It really looked nice on her and seems to be well made. In my view, it feels of quality and was resonably priced.This shawl is so worth it - the plum color is rich and the edge detail is very pretty. Large enough to wrap around and knot in front for hands-free walking around. Nice and warm, too! I was very comfortable sitting outside in 50*F (10*C) weather with this over a long-sleeved cotton shirt.This shawl is just what a shawl should be - full and easy to swing over your shoulders. Beautifully soft, cozy, yet washable. I definitely recommend this. Not at all like the fancy ones they're producing today. They knew what they were doing in the 'old days'. You'll Love it.The shawl looks great and provided lots of warmth on a very cold and damp afternoon and evening. The color coordinated very nicely with a wedding dress and complimented the dress worn by the maid-of-honor. The soft material was smooth and felt great against bare skin. Thank you for a wonderful product.good but itis must be larger
