I was delighted by the quality of this scarf as I always have been with previous MyPashmina purchases. I already have a collection of 100% cashmere stoles some of which are several years old and look as new- no pilling or other signs of wear.
The colour match from the online picture of grape royale and the real thing was perfect.
I was a little puzzled by the order procedure concerning delivery options and found my order had gone through before I made a choice about this. Apart from this glitch, however, delivery was efficient.

I was delighted to receive this beautiful large scarf-its quality is superb . I have bought many 100% cashmere stoles some several years old and none show any signs of wear, no pilling or anything else.
The colour of grape royale in the online picture is an accurate depiction of the real thing.
While delivery was efficient I was a bit puzzled by the order procedure which seemed to give me no choice of the kind of delivery option -my order went through before I was able to choose.
Otherwise excellent service.
