"I love this scarf!"
This scarf is very reasonably priced. I was pleasantly surprised -- for the price she's asking, good luck finding something locally, I mean, that's like box store price but with none of the handmade uniqueness or fair trade/support an artisan as Novica so wonderfully does. Beautiful, earthy colors. It is loosely woven, suitable more for Autumn than summer, has a weight to it. It has a bit of warmth to it. Not deep of winter because of the open weave but definitely will take off a chill. I LOVE IT. Wearing it now! It has a raw cotton, earthy vibe to it. Dresses up a jean jacket nicely. I bought this one and also the white. What a talent , thank you! Thank you!

"Beautiful but Wrong Sizing"
Lovely fabric and beautiful workmanship but appears to be unfinished. The one I received was slightly larger than the size of a placemat, not a standard size for a womans shawl. Am returning.
