"LOVELY to wear."
I bought one similar to this for my daughters wedding and it wound up on her shoulders that evening, so I got this one to replace it. As I live in the Australian tropics, its a great, all year wrap and will get miles of use. Elegant, soft and useful garment.

"A magnificent, delicate, elegant, and yet practical shawl. LOVE it!"
Just want to say how pleased I am. I ordered this on the 9th and got it delivered today on the 20th. It is exquisitely crafted and was beautifully packaged. I bought it to wear at a family wedding with my dress and plan on letting everyone know on the weekend about your site, the community efforts that are achieved with the income, and the quality of the gorgeous and elegant products that are offered. GOOD FOR YOU! (you cannot see me right no but I m wearing an enormous smile) Cheers from Australia! Chris
