Shawl Wrap - pashmina, pashmina wrap
I ordered three of these. They are clearly advertised as "pristinely woven from the finest pashmina and silk", yet the label says acrylic. They are clearly advertised as Lauren and they are not. I emailed the seller, who replied that they would send a return label. I replied to them immediately saying that as I was going out of town could they please email the label. This was on January 5. I did not have a reply and have now left town so do not know what they have done. This is not only false representation, it is discourteous service and has left me having paid for goods which are not as promised and not knowing what the seller has done until next month.
I would never ever use this seller again and I really object to the fact that Amazon still have the false advertisement on the website. There is no facility for no stars on the review page so I am forced to give it one but it does not deserve even that. Lauren Solid Color Stunning Pashmina (Sky)
The shawl was delivered promptly. The color is lighter than I expected (I ordered sky blue) but is still a pretty color. But the fabric is not what I expected. I am going to do some research to learn how to recognize genuine Pashmina. I ordered an ivory scarf several weeks ago that is 100% Pashmina, and the texture is quite different from the texture of this shawl. The ivory scarf came from India and it is clearly made of wool --it feels scratchy on my neck. This shawl feels suspiciously like rayon to me. It has a label that says 100% Pashmina, which adds to the confusion! (The product description states that the fiber is a blend of Pashmina and silk.) As I said, I am suspicious as to the true origin of the fiber. The plastic bag containing the shawl says "Made in China", which adds to my suspicions. I don't find the shawl hideous, but I feel I just spent fifteen dollars on a cheap imitation, when I was led to believe I was buying the real thing.
I have not received my item purchased for a special event (wedding). I am going to contact the seller and cancel my order. The one star rating above is only being given because this program would not let me delete the star once it was clicked.
i was skeptical when i ordered 8 of these for my bridesmaids. the price was too good to be true, and some of the other reviews made me nervous about the quality. well, the deal was too good, but it was true! the colors were exact to what i saw on screen (i got the sky blue and lipstick red) the feel was fantastic and the shipping was quick and inexpensive. overall, so happy with this product!
pashmina? more like acrylic. I did receive the scar quickly BUT it was not as soft as i expected, specially if its supposed to be pashmina and silk. It came with a tag that looked glued right before shipping. Luckily I could take them off without causing much damage. I think the price is sort of fair for an acrylic scarf but it bothers me muvh that they advertise it as pashmina and silk when it obviously is not. the look nice and have many colors but they should be honest about what they are selling you.
Love it! It's soft so the scarf does not itch your neck and it's big enough to tie it many different ways. Love the "sky" and the "grey" colors. Ordered these for Christmas gift and got little broaches to go with it. Nice, inexpensive gift for the ladies.
I am awaiting a response from the seller because I want a refund. I ordered the "Sky" blue and it looks nothing like pictured. I uploaded 2 pictures to this item up top, so people will actually be able to see what color they will get getting. I wish I would have never ordered it. The fabric is VERY thin(you can see through it) and the overall quality is very poor. Is this Scarf/wrap soft? Yes, very soft. I love the way it feels. If the color had been even some what close to the shimmery blue pictured, I wouldn't be AS upset, since it was less than $10. However, I know a lot of people are snatching these up thinking they are going to be good quality based on the product description and a few positive reviews and not to mention how gorgeous the colors look and plan on giving them as Christmas gifts. I would be soooo embarrassed if I had given this to someone. I can get better quality from Walmart, actually, this scarf is made in china based on the tag, so I might be able to find it there. I'm glad I didn't order more than one like I was going to do at first.I will definitely not be keeping it. Lets see how long it takes for them to respond and send me a return label.
I ordered the sky blue wrap. It was the exact color which is great! It's absolutely gorgeous! For 5 bucks it's an amazing deal. However there are threads that I had to cut off. It's not that big of a deal for the price but I would rather be able to open the package and wear.
Ok, let's be honest here... do you really expect to get a 100% cashmere pashmina for 6 dollars? no. these are acrylic... but i will tell you, they are very soft acrylic, and the quality is actually pretty good... these are the same sort of scarves you will buy on ebay... a lot of specialty boutiques will buy lots of these types of scarves and mark them up tremendously and say they're something they're not... you are getting a good value for what you pay and i was happy with the seller, quickness of shipping, and my product.
I ordered the dark green (almost forest green) pashmina and received a kelly green one (not even shown). I emailed them to ask about it and was assured that they'd immediately send out a dark green one. 2 days later, I now have an olive green one as well.
They are still not the correct color, but I will end up keeping them for travel. Now I just have to figure out how to get the adhesive mark off them... - Pashmina - Pashmina Wrap - Shawl - Scarves'
