"My favorite scarf"

I love this scarf because it's beautiful, yet so light and thin that it fits in my purse, so I can have it with me at all times. Whenever I feel a little chilly, I just pull it out and wrap it around my neck for instant coziness.

"Absolutely fabulous!!"

Thank you so much, Yuni, for this gorgeous piece of wearable art! The colors are stunning and the weight of the scarf is perfect for year-round wear. This piece is delicate, hangs beautifully, and finishes an outfit (casual or more formal). This is something I will keep forever.

"Beautiful but not the right colors for me"

This a lovely combination of colors and patterns in a very light weight silk. Unfortunately, it didnt complement the intended outfit and I returned it. The return process was easy and efficient- thank you Novica :)
