I have purchased many scarves on Amazon, many of them silk, and more than a few from this very listing. I also use silk for other art projects as I am a fiber artist that works specifically in silk.
The quality of the scarves is very nice. I can attest that they are 100% silk. The pictures have never been anything except representative of exactly what I’ve received. And of course, the price is nice for overall value.
That being said, if you are looking strictly to purchase these to give us gifts, be prepared to deal with having to iron them and putting them in your own packaging for the gift. I have attached a picture so that you can see how the latest ones I purchased were shipped. These in particular I did not purchase to wear, but if I had I would be in for some ironing (yes 100% silk can be ironed, but you have to be careful.) more importantly if I had purchased them to be a gift, as you can see from the picture, not only would I have had to iron them to get them looking nice again, I would also have had to repackage them.
I thought it was important to state that since it is a feature of the listing that the package it is shipped in is supposed to be able to be used as a gift package as well. So the five stars are for the product itself…
But the shipping is a disaster. The shipping envelope is pictured above the scarves, and as you can see the one that is still in the gift packaging was folded in half and stuffed inside that smaller shipping envelope. Then the black one that I purchased was simply crumpled up into a plastic bag – indicating it was probably a return & resell – and then that was shoved inside whatever space was left. Then the shipper sealed it up and sent it off. So this is a fault of Amazon, not of the seller or the manufacturer. If I were the seller, or especially the manufacturer, I’d be pissed off.
A pity, really. The silk is nice and they are priced very reasonably.
