I purchased 2 pashminas from 2 different suppliers. One was this bubble 2-layer gauze-like pashima that I returned today from Sakas. I hated it.But this one, which was just $8.50 is awesome! One review says she knows what real pashmina cashmere feels like - well I question her judgement. While it may not be "thick" it is not sheer, and it is oh so warm. When you put it on, it's almost like wrapping yourself in an electric blanket. Within a minute or two, you feel your own body heat warming you. This is the true test of a real cashmere, or wool, etc. - it holds your body temperature in.And soft! OMG, how wonderful it feels to the touch. NO way it is acrylic or rayon.And for the price - what a great value. If I had not seen these online, and saw this in a store for say, $25, I would still think it was a steal.I bought a black one, and I wish I had bought more, in a few other colors. I saw where one bride-to-be bought them to give away as gifts in case it got cold. What a great idea. No one would suspect you paid less than $10 for this lovely product. Seriously! I absolutely love mine! Not sure where all these bad reviews come from. I can't image anyone would be dissappointed after spending so little, on something so soft, and warm. I wish I could find a queen-size blanket made out of this stuff! I would never get out of bed.
