Sakkas78" X 28" Rayon from Bamboo Soft Solid Pashmina Feel Shawl/Wrap/Stole

I ordered one to check the quality and it is lovely. I am ordering some additional ones for Holiday gifts and well as for myself.

I conducted a bit of an experiment with two different types (and prices) of Pashminas on Amazon. Initially I'd ordered three of these:78" x 28" Eco-Friendly Bamboo Rayon Soft Solid Pashmina Shawl / Wrap / Stole: one in baby blue, one in teal and one in coral. They were priced at $15.99 each and offered with Amazon Prime.Then I decided what the heck, I'll order the less expensive option that also offers a wide variety of colors, strong reviews and is half the price of the first three:Elegant PASHMINA SCARF WRAP SHAWL STOLE : I ordered silver, which is more of a steel grey and the price was $7.33 and also available through Amazon Prime.All four arrived in the same package today and here are my findings:The less expensive Elegant PASHMINA SCARF WRAP SHAWL STOLE is every bit as nice as the more expensive Eco-Friendly Bamboo Rayon Soft Solid Pashmina Shawl / Wrap / Stole. It doesn't have the sheen that the Bamboo Rayon "Pashminas" have, but that is actually an advantage when considering that they can slip and slide off one's shoulders. It is also the only one of the four with a label that says "Pashmina" -- the authenticity of which is debatable when considering the low price and because all of them were made in China where truth-telling about such things isn't exactly the norm. The weave on this pashmina isn't as tight as the other three, but it's still plenty nice enough.The advantages of the more expensive Bamboo Rayon are only threefold: the colors are prettier with the aforementioned sheen, the weave is tighter and they are 6" longer. I like a longer Pashmina and in fact have one from World Market that's perfect and over 84" long. It drapes beautifully, but it was $30.So, if you're trying to decide between the less expensive Elegant PASHMINA SCARF WRAP SHAWL STOLE at $7.33 or the Eco-Friendly Bamboo Rayon Soft Solid Pashmina Shawl / Wrap / Stole at $15.99, the good news is you can't go wrong with either. But if you can find a color you like in the less expensive one and don't mind that it's a bit shorter, then I'd suggest going for it and saving yourself a bit of money (or perhaps buy two!).

This beautiful shawl snagged on everything. I can no longer where this to church! I have to wear it under my coat, just so the pulls won’t Show.

I LOVE this shawl! I want to point out that I personally like bamboo fabric MORE than I like pashmina.A few more things that I wanted to note; the 'Forest Green' is not actually the color pictured. It's more of a dark cyan - kind of a blueish green, a little bit lighter in color. I still absolutely love it and I had already suspected the color would not be exactly as pictured. The shipping was very fast, and the shawl was packaged really well, not squashed or crushed, but neatly folded.In case you're wondering if you could wear this to a formal event, or with an expensive dress/heels - ABSOLUTELY (since it has a light sheen to it), provided it's one of the darker colors. I wouldn't go with say, the white or pink. I'm actually just going to wear it when I get cold at work, but you could wear it with anything.Obviously, don't buy this and expect something similar to a pashmina shawl - the fabric is totally different. I think most people know that already, but I thought I'd mention it just in case anyone was wondering. It's a lighter fabric, thinner. It's softer than cotton and will wear much better too. The reason I bought it was actually because I think bamboo is so fantastic!I just wanted to recommend the product. I have taken one star off for them listing "pashmina" in the description (which I think is intended to mislead people who aren't paying attention), and also for not accurately representing the color. If I can work out how to add a photograph I will.

My last shawl was a 100% black cashmere one from the Pashmina store. Had it for several years before losing it on a cruise ship and never replaced it although I wore it most everywhere. Well, I now have a wedding to attend this weekend and I needed a shawl fast to cover my shoulders during the ceremony. I was a bit wary about purchasing anything less then what I had owned before and knowing that it would get a lot of use from me, it was a really tough decision not to splurge on a new cashmere wrap - however - I'm really satisfied with my decision to go with this wrap instead (I needed the extra $$$ for an appropriate wedding gift!)For the price, this is a very nice wrap indeed. I think some of the complaints about it being threadbare must either be the result of a defective product having been received or perhaps a bit of exaggeration. For sure, this is a thin scarf but it possesses a nice weight and beautiful drape. Some light will pass through the material if held up to the light but wrapped around your shoulders it is very much opaque. The fabric has a slight sheen to it, much like you would expect to see in a silk blend, which makes this a bit more appropriate for formal wear. I did not note any quality control issues; no holes, tears, snags or unevenness. In a pinch, I feel this was an excellent buy and when I do get around to replacing my old cashmere wrap, I'll still keep this one in my wardrobe for formal wear (again, the slight sheen and nice drape makes it more appropriate in this regard) and for sharing with friends.

The color was spot-on. The texture was soft. But there were SO MANY SNAGS in the fabric. Right out of the bag. Such a disappointment.

It was beautiful, amazing color until I dried it in the dryer. So sad. Maybe the company will send me another one. It matched the outfits in my capsule wardrobe.

Très bien et en plus tiens chaud quand la nuit la fraîcheur descend

The shawl itself is a good size and pretty good quality. However I ordered Coral colour, and although the shawl was labelled as Coral, it is more red. Returned easily enough though.Although nice, just not right.

Le tissage n’est pas très régulier

Ein wundervolles Grün und ein toller weicher Stoff. Perfekt an lauen Sommerabenden!

Für einen Schal echt teuer, aber die Bordeaux rote Variante ist echt wunderschön. Kauf-Empfehlung!!Er wirkt leider etwas glänzend glatt und edel was jetzt nicht unbedingt zu allen Jacken passt, dafür jedoch zu Mänteln (also bei mir). Dann wirkt er romantisch.Dennoch: tolle tiefe Farbe, übestand die 60°Wäsche unbeschadet, schön groß, weich und dicht.Ich wickel den auch gern um den Kopf, bevor dich die Kapuze hochziehe. Guter Windschutz :).
