V Virginia I'm so pleased with this scarf. The colour is a deep rich red, and exactly matches the coat I bought it to pair with. It's not a heavy scarf, but on the thin side. Yet it's warm and comfortable to wear, even as an accent piece. Happy customer!

Daniel I bought two sets of these adorable cat ornaments and could not be more delighted with them. The vivid colors and hand-painted detailing as shown in the photo are even more impressive in person. I hope the artist expands the collection to include more colors in the future. A must-buy for fans of cats and Christmas!

Donna Love the pockets, front buttons, warm, beautiful artistry. Perfect for wearing over tops that have non-traditional sleeves. Drapes beautifully! Love this piece, it was worth waiting for!
