These are wondeful ruana's. Easily worn in the office, and in spring/autumn as outerwear. The color here is more like a medium/flecked/mottled or cocoa brown, like the lightest parts seen in the photograph.
I absolutely love this shawl!! I bought it to go with a navy blue evening gown and was concerned the two blues wouldn't match. They look great together. The shimmering quality of the silk make it so it would complement many shades of navy.
