I bought this as a wrap for a wedding and it worked perfectly. It is not a shiny raw silk, but more of a matte texture and was beautiful with my dress.
Bought this for my son. He loves colour and texture, and that's hard to find in men's scarves. The scarf is exactly as pictured and described. Colour is even nicer in hand. Cotton is such a versitle material that he will be able to wear it all year round. I know he's going to love it.
I have purchased many of these beautiful scarves. I have kept 2 of different colors for myself and have given several as gifts to friends and family. They hand wash well. They are the perfect size to add a pop of color to an outfit and perfect amount of warmth around the shoulders and neck.
