    I bought two of these last year after seeing someone post about them on here, they're now in the dog's basket. You get what you pay for! No idea how they're getting away with using the word 'pashmina' either, which refers to the specific type of wool. They're VERY small too. Anyone who has a real pashmina would be appalled to get this thing!

    The 2 I received were fine and am happy with them but still they are seconds hence the mixed reviews but at the price with delivery I still found they were good value

    Well these days they use the name 'pashmina' for all sorts of long scarves and shawls and never bother with it being specific for the correct item.

    How big are these? The web page says 80 inches! ("28 Inches by 80 Inches") That's 6 foot 8 inches long. That's not small. Wonder if it's not the same ones that you got last year?

    I've no idea about the exact measurements, but I'm only 5'1" tall and the ones I got last year were nowhere near the length of me! Maybe these are different, but they were from Kuldip Ltd.

    Well my orange one arrived today - lovely packaged in a cellophane packet. I looked hard and there may be one pulled thread - but not noticeable unless I was really searching - and then may be part of the weave anyway.

    Mine about 80 x 30 inches too - lovely and long and soft.

    No smell to mine or anything but I have rinsed it.

    There is a label on it saying 100% viscous and dry clean only - made in India.

    Anyway did it no harm - quite a bit of dye coming out so might have done some good anyway.

    Thanks OP - so nice I think I'll want a rainbow selection!
