"Fabulous Rich Color and Design"

Thank you to the Nu Kem Association of Textile Artisans for this stunning shawl. The richness of the color and design is a frame-able masterpiece that will grace my neck and shoulders. A stand alone beauty that will make any outfit I wear all the more lovely.The weave is so delicate. I love the fringe. I am grateful to be able to afford to buy such a treasure.
