Still going strong after 6 years”

I bought this bag in 2014 and have used it daily since. It still looks great and hasnt come undone at the seams anywhere. I cant believe Ive had it as long as I have. Would highly recommend. Great quality.

Very Pretty”

Beautiful colors. Didnt give it five stars because as a scarf, it is not heavy. Would not be very warm in winter.

Nice, but not quite what I expected.”

It must be the word shawl, because I thought this would have more weight to it. It looks more like a table runner, which is how I will probably use it. It is quite pretty.
