This Turquoise Silk Scarf from The Cotton&Silk (Company) is lovely. I have worn it a few times, and received compliments each time.It isn't hard to tell, even from a distance that this is not your average shawl or neck scarf. The material is thicker than my other silky-feeling scarves, and sometimes come untied due to the slipperiness of them. That doesn't occur with this scarf. The material is soft, but not slippery, and the design has large cats and hibiscus flowers, and so many more designs that I am always discovering something new.It is big, at 36" x 36", so it is large enough to cover my shoulders in a shawl style. The colors are more muted than I expected, so it is colorful, but not vivid.The price point of $90 is rather high for me personally, so this was definitely a splurge for me, and since the price was high, Iam taking extra good care of it, storing it in the black box that it came in to keep in from fading and dust.The presentation with the thick black box was lovely. I have always been a fan of a well-made, pretty scarf and just had to add this to my collection.I realize this is not in everyone's budget, but maybe on your birthday, you can treat yourself to a lovely silk scarf from The Cotton&Silk. I hope my review is helpful for you!
