Long, delicate fringes complete the scarf at each end.

The pattern of the scarf is more intricate than one can see from the photo. It is gorgeous. It also feels nice on the skin.

"Beautiful but not the right colors for me"

This a lovely combination of colors and patterns in a very light weight silk. Unfortunately, it didnt complement the intended outfit and I returned it. The return process was easy and efficient- thank you Novica :)

"Absolutely fabulous!!"

Thank you so much, Yuni, for this gorgeous piece of wearable art! The colors are stunning and the weight of the scarf is perfect for year-round wear. This piece is delicate, hangs beautifully, and finishes an outfit (casual or more formal). This is something I will keep forever.
