Achillea Large Soft Silky Pashmina Shawl Wrap Scarf in Solid Colors

Comment

I seriously doubt the veracity of the label which indicates the fabric is 45% silk and 55% pashmina. This is an inexpensive scarf/shawl most probably comprised solely of manmade materials such as viscose and acrylic. It is worth what it costs. In this case, the word pashmina in the descriptor must refer to the type of garment, not the expensive cashmere wool known as pashmina. On the plus side, the fuschia color is nice and fairly true to the online appearance. I would also say the fabric "hand" is softer than its somewhat coarse weave appearance would lead you to think. My main issue with this item is that there is a garish white label glued to the scarf that is both unattractive and difficult (if not impossible) to cleanly remove without damaging the fabric. For this reason, I would not recommend this item unless you are confident you will not be bothered by the aesthetics of the [ugly] label. Of note is that after making my purchase and ruining my scarf in a failed attempt at label removal, I did read another post that indicates wetting the label makes its removal possible.

Nice colors but not great quality. I had ordered a few of the MaaMagic pashminas/ shawls and for $11-$12 each, I couldn’t believe the quality. Then these came up in my recommendations, I saw they appeared to be very popular and highly rated, so I ordered three. I wish I had returned them all. 1) look at description of materials. Know what tag says? “70% pashmina, 30% silk.” Pashmina is supposed to be a type of silk, so WTH? 2) as others have mentioned, large label is glued to fabric and fabric is so thin and loosely woven that peeling tag off does damage it. 3) description says “light” and that’s certainly true. You can definitely see through these. 4) they wrinkle terribly. I mean, badly enough I couldn’t wear it again without having it steamed or something. 4) They do have a LOT of colors, but they aren’t all accurately represented in photos. The “champagne” one, for instance, is almost a light camel or taupe color. Certainly nowhere near the light, bright shade pictured. Summary:If you need a cheap, colorful wrap (or chair decoration), this is fine. If you’d rather have a high-quality (and also warm) wrap, try MaaMagic. (And no, I don’t work for them- just sharing my experience. For $1 more, their quality is MUCH better. Plus no unsightly tags glued on their products.)

I want so much to love this scarf. I actually do love it. What I do not love is the giant sticky spot left from attempting to remove the label. If you don’t take great care, removal of the label will damage the scarf. Even if you can get the label off the “tape” remains on the scarf. Even after carefully removing the “tape” it is so sticky that I can stick the scarf to the wall and it holds the weight of the entire scarf with the glue residue that is embedded in the fabric. I have no idea how I am going to deal with this problem. A beautiful scarf. Amazing fabric and weight. Ruined by a permanent glue residue from a tag! The seller needs to fix this. Also there are no care instructions so clean at your own risk. I am so disappointed. Without the gummy mess I would give this five stars even without any hint of cleaning instructions. This is a ruined piece because of the glue. So disappointing. Don’t waste your money.

Since I am a hijab wearing Muslim, I get a lot of scarves in different materials and colors online. As most hijabis know, its really deceptive in photos to determine how nice the material is of any Veil bought online. Im happy to say that this scarf is gorgeous quality and color. Material is somewhat shiny and a little bit textured for grip. The scarf looks luxurious and is soft. Its not too thick nor too thin and even though the fabric is quite breathable, its definitely opaque.

I bought these for my 5 bridesmaids on my wedding day. They were the perfect compliment to the wine colored dresses. I steamed them all when I got them and they were perfect! A little on the thin side, but still super warm! Kept everyone a bit warmer for those few minutes we were outside in the 8 degree weather... yes my bridesmaids were such troopers!!
