I bought it as a gift to myself.
It is very soft and nice and doesn't take much place when storing it.
I'm planning to use it to warm my self over a summery dress at a coming wedding.
I absolutely love this shawl!! I bought it to go with a navy blue evening gown and was concerned the two blues wouldn't match. They look great together. The shimmering quality of the silk make it so it would complement many shades of navy.
