I bought this as a wrap for a wedding and it worked perfectly. It is not a shiny raw silk, but more of a matte texture and was beautiful with my dress.
This shawl is soft, warm, and beautifully made. The design is just small enough not to be busy and just large enough to be distinct. The color is a smoky blue and almost lilac grey. I can see in the weave the care it took to make, and I think of the weavers every time I put it on. Thanks so much!
