The description says 'muted jewel tones' but I would say this piece has an intensity of color due to the artist's expert eye and the complexity of design. It is a stunning shawl. The fabric does have a sheen (as modal sometimes does) that highlights the beautiful mix of jewel-like colors. I am very happy for it to join my collection of shawls and wraps and look forward to wearing it for many years. It would be a lovely gift for someone who appreciates quality weaving.
Bought this for my son. He loves colour and texture, and that's hard to find in men's scarves. The scarf is exactly as pictured and described. Colour is even nicer in hand. Cotton is such a versitle material that he will be able to wear it all year round. I know he's going to love it.
I love this shawl. It is the perfect accessory for a light brown and cream print top I have. Light enough to wear as a scarf in the summer under air-conditioning but works well as a shawl in cooler weather. The weave is so beautiful. Has an unusual artistic look.
