4.5 stars to be precise. I was reserved in my expectations for this scarf, given the low price... It is in fact a superb quality product. The scarf is soft and silky, perfectly sized and the right thickness for various ties. I am particularly impressed by the natural shine of the fabric, which I thought might be a lighting effect in the photo - I purchased the gray, and it is a nicely shimmering silvery scarf! It would be a perfect 5-star if it weren't for the pashmina/silk label (or rather, sticker) - I just don't like these things, which could not be removed without slightly damaging the spot. That said, I'm ordering another color for myself and a couple as gifts.

The scarf/wrap arrived quickly, was packaged nicely and is a red scarf which I wanted. It is 55% acrylic and 45% viscose. The Amazon description said 70% pashmina and 30% silk. They're not interchangeable. I'd return it, but it matches my outfit for tonight and I hate returning things. If it weren't for the great shipping, I'd be done with Amazon. I'm definitely more cautious. Too many "fails" lately.

(If I had ordered an acrylic scarf, I'd give it 4 stars--I like a subtle design, but this is pretty much invisible.)

Initially I only ordered 3 since I wasn't sure how well I'd like them. I was so pleased that I ordered two more as additional Christmas gifts. They are lightweight and soft. The colors I chose were red, purple, turquoise and gold and the appearance of the actual scarves is as shown on the computer screen.

The fabric is soft and not scratchy at all. However, when you stretch out the scarf, the material is a bit thinner than I expected. The slight sheen of the fabric is nice, but the sheen is more subtle than it appears in the photo and is only on one side. The color saturation is great. The weight of the scarf makes it wearable even during early-to-mid spring.

Th color seems to be true to the image online. The paisley print is indistinguishable in this rather light color palate and it looks like it will fray easily on the edges, as it's not of a high quality. But it does have a fairly nice sheen.

I ordered two of these scarves from this seller. One was perfect, just as shown on the picture. However, the blue/black one was a significantly different shade of blue than shown on the picture. On the one I received, the blue part is so dark that it can hardly be differentiated from the black part. I am disappointed.

When I ordered one of the scarfs, I was ordering it according to the description and the picture I saw online through Amazon. When I finally got the scarf the color was no were near what the picture showed. The description said that is was black and there was not one drop of the color black on that scarf. I contacted the seller and who has no understanding of customer service at all and was very rude. Don't buy these scarfs. He will rip you off.

I am only docking one star for that awful sticky tag that couldn't be removed without slightly damaging the fabric. I had read the other reviews so knew it was very thin fabric, which is exactly what I wanted, so I could wear it in warmer weather over a sleeveless or short-sleeved top. So it is perfect for spring and autumn. I am a super pale redhead and I have the dark purple, which is such a rich and vibrant color that is so flattering for me. It looks so glamorous for such a surprisingly low price.

I love this scarf!

Pros:
- it is very long, I could easily wrap it twice around my neck if I wanted
- It is warm, and is not itchy
- the colors are beautiful and very complementing
- I get compliments on this scarf frequently
- great price!
- it looks great whether I am dressing up or dressing down

I can't think of any cons. I will say I don't really know much about fabrics, so I can't vouch for the genuine nature of what it says the fabric is made of. All I know is that it feels very nice, it is thick and warm, and it isn't itchy. I love this scarf!

My order arrived today. I have the dark brown w/black and the dark grey w/ teal (that is what the order shows, but here is says "grey mix"). The brown/black is dark and will look nice with either color. I like the grey/teal, it comes across and a "shimmery" silver and that is what I wanted - it is very understated, an accent type color, not quite "neutral" but definitely versatile. I think it will be a nice way to brighten up and add an "accent" when worn with many different colors of blouses, sweaters, coats. The material is very soft and luxurious feeling, and it drapes nicely. These are lovely, especially for the price. Yes - they do have labels. I was expecting a "big" label (as described by others). It's about 2 inches long, and maybe 1/4 -1/2 wide. It came off easily and left a sticky residue. I haven't tried to remove the sticky stuff yet, but I'm not all that concerned about it - I stuck the label back on and will deal with it if/when it becomes a bother.
