"Beautiful feeling fabric"

The shawl is a lovely weight of silk, unfortunately the colours in photo are quite different from the actual item received. The shawl is only two colours, bright aqua and navy, whereas the photo shows more of an overall green colour with bits of red. Will still be able to wear it but am hesitating to buy more based on the inaccuracy of colours in photos.

"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.
