The color wasn't as vibrant as in the picture but it was still a pretty liliac color. The material wasn't as soft as I thought it was going to be but overall it was a good buy for a gift. I would buy another one even though it wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

The shawl is quite lovely; it is prettier than I expected. This was definitely a great value.

I was a little disappointed by the lack of vibrant color as displayed by the picture shown. The shawl had more of a grayish tone to it that I didn't expect. For the price paid I expected a lot more softness. I ended up giving it as a gift and the recipient was quite pleased. For all of the above reasons I gave the product an average rating.
