Where else can one find a shawl of such quality? Lightweight, warm and such a vast palette of colors! I have purchased several and still want more. It doesnt break the buget either1 What else could one want? Great as gift items throughout the year.
Pashminas     On: 2007-12-12

I am delighted with my three pashminas, two of which I bought to give away, and one that I intend to keep myself. The colors (watermelon, dark teal, and sky blue) are beautiful--vivid without being harsh--and the shawls are a perfect size. And an amazing price! (I paid $20 a piece). The color choice was a bit staggering--it took me quite a while to choose--but I appreciated being able to get exactly the right ones.
Not quite what I expected     On: 2007-12-04

The shawl was nice but the color was not what I expected. Instead of a bright solid tinted gold sheen it was more of a dark dirty gold tone which was not what I needed. However the shipment arrived on time and it was nice to the touch and draped well but again not quite what was presented.
Buyers be warned!!!     On: 2007-11-06

This is not Pashmina!!! It is more like muslin. I read just about every feedback comment and decided to order because there was more positive than negative. Boy did I learn the hard way! I thought about returning the scarf that I ordered but after the excessive shipping and handling charges from the vendor and the additional 5.00 or so I would have to pay to ship it back I would basically break even. The only place I would recommend buying a Pashmina that is this inexpensive would be on the streets of NYC or China Town, San Francisco where you can actually see and touch the product.
The seller acknowledged my disappointment with the product, but is still not worth buying.
If you still decide to order this product and are disappointed, wash and dry the scarf, it gives it a cool wrinkled texture (but is still not soft).
Great product at a great price!     On: 2007-11-04

Just what I expected and a they come in a large variety of colors. Will be purchasing many more for Christmas gifts.
good buy     On: 2007-10-26

nice scarf, specially if you consider the price. Delivery even to The netherlands was quick.
Luxury and class without causing you to Mortgage the house     On: 2007-10-17

When I first spotted this item while shopping, it immediately struck me as a very afordable beautiful luxury item. I purchased the item for my Girlfriend. When it arrived, she un-wrapped it and fell in love with it on the spot. Very soft lovely shawl for those cool evenings when a coat is not required, but a light chill in the air.Excellent quality and your girl whomever she may be will like it.
Great pashmina- Great price!     On: 2007-10-11

My friends loved these - gave 2 as gifts recently and may have to buy one for myself.
nice for the price     On: 2007-09-23

This shawl is great for the price.
I was supposed to receive this product in late August but I never did. I had to contact the seller directly and ask them where it was. They sent it in late September.
Cheap and smells bad     On: 2007-09-12

The shawl is very poor quality (though it is very inexpensive so not much shock there) But the thing that most bothers me is the smell! When I took it out it smelled very strong of vinegar. I have had it airing out for quite some time and it still smells...in the end I am just going to have get rid of this item as it is unwearable!
Besutiful Pashmina Shawls!     On: 2007-08-31

These Pashminas are beautiful & can be worn all year round. Theyre very soft and the colors are beautiful. For this price, theyre a bargain, and Im going to be buying several more for myself & gifts. I really love their Reversible Pashmina Shawls too! Reversible Pashmina Shawl - 110 Colors - Perfect Gift
I still have not received this item     On: 2007-08-13

Up to this date I have not received this item. The seller states that they are our of stock but I dont receive it during this week I will request a return of funds to my credit card.
Finally....     On: 2007-07-30

Took a month to arrive - lovely color but I could have paid less money on the streets of NY....
lightweight but scratchy     On: 2007-07-09

I actually like that it is more lightweight than some other shawls. However, it seems quite scratchy against my skin. I hand washed it and the color faded slightly, but not too much. The scratchiness is probably my only complaint.
Disappointin g     On: 2007-06-29

Cheesy fabric, blah color and no real style &/or presence--looked like it had been in a drawer for 20 years.
It bled     On: 2007-06-13

Ordered a nice, deep red pashmina shawl. Wore it twice. 1st time it bled on me within the first hour. I actually handwashed it to try and help keep it from bleeding/fading again. Used it a 2nd time. It still bled but not as bad as the first. Kept me warm enough. Wish they would correct the dye process.
everyone needs a shawl     On: 2007-06-11

This bronze shawl matched the bridesmaid gowns my daughter wore. The material used was soft and of good quality.
color matched but very thin     On: 2007-05-16

The color and service were good but the description was lacking, this shawl is thin, you could say sheer. Its beautiful but definitely for light coverage.
Pashmina shawl     On: 2007-05-14

Based on the photo I bought this pashmina thinking it was a little thicker. However, it is very light and thin, a Spring pashmina. The colors are beautiful, maybe a shade darker than the photos, but the pashminas are big, soft and very easy to wear, perfect as a complement.
Waited way too long without communication..quality just ok     On: 2007-05-13

I ordered 5 pashminas in March and was quoted about a 2 week delivery time. Towards the end of April I still had not received them and needed them for a wedding in May. I finally called them and was told that they were on backorder. Would have been nice if someone had emailed or called to let me know. When I did talk to someone in customer service, they were very nice. I was told they would be getting a shipment the following week and would send them. They didnt. Finally, two days before the wedding, I had to call them again and they said that they just received shipment and would overnight them to me. They did. They are very very thin as far as material goes..you can actually see through them. The color seemed a little off too, but they will do. Would not order from them again.
Love it     On: 2007-04-24

Fifteen bucks was a deal! I ordered the dark gold and it looks exactly as the color in the picture. It is large enough that it can be worn over a dress or blouse, and small enough that it can be wrapped into a scarf. I love it!
pashima     On: 2007-04-22

Well, i thought it would a little heavier. It was pretty and looked nice, but it certainly didnt keep anyone warm. It was VERY thin.
maybe, maybe not     On: 2007-04-10

Granted, the likelihood of these being 100% pashmina is low - but then again, the likelihood that you will find a nicer wrap for $20 is also low. I really liked mine - the color is rich, the wrap is large and comfortable.
Cheap in NYC     On: 2007-02-09

Bought this lovely pashmina for $5 on NYC streets. You have to shop around, but I found the right one. But if you cant make it to NYC, I will offer you this review. The scarf itself is very "sheeny" and is a good length and heft. I really love mine; it is this color (tan-beige). It goes with everything and works well to cut the cold wind on a cold day. It is stylish and you can wear it with jeans or for dress up. You should dry clean it.
WONDERFUL PASHMINA'S     On: 2007-01-20

I love these Pashminas. Theyre awesome; very versatile. Great for all year round use. Ive bought Pashminas at Department Stores for a lot more money, but these are perfect and that too for only $20. All the colors were very nice & very accurate based on the photographs.

These are a steal at $20. Ive already bought 7, Im definitely going to be buying a lot more!

This is pashmina?????     On: 2007-01-11

If youre expecting the luxurious feel of Pashmina, this isnt the product for you. But one gets what one pays for as I discovered. The fabric is very, very thin and lacks the softness associated with Pashmina. The package contains no care instructions, and nothing states what the fabric is actually made from.
Indifferent     On: 2007-01-09

"Gold" is not the word Id use to the describe the color, more like a dirty curry yellow. Good quality though! Will probably not use but I am still satisfied as it was good quality for the money. Maybe Itll turn into a gift for someone else or Ill find something to match it with eventually.
Great Pashmina     On: 2007-01-05

This Pashmina is soft, warm, and very attractive. I would recommend anyone interested to purchase this.
Good Customer Service     On: 2006-12-30

Initially, there was a problem with my order, and I did not receive it. When I contacted NIMLI, I found that they have very good customer service. The responded promptly to correct the problem and went out of their way to make my shopping experience positive. I did get my order, and I am happy with it. It is a nice, light-weight fabric. I dont know if its just my computer screen or not, but the "henna" color is a little lighter than it appears on my screen, but still a nice color.
BEST PASHMINA'S ANYWHERE! LOVE THEM!!!     On: 2006-11-29

I purchased a few Pashmina shawls for myself and I bought several for gifting - and theyre awesome! I love the color variety, and theyre such beautiful colors. I ordered the Peacock, Champagne, Orchid, Sea Glass & Coffee and more for others. Great price, just as described and easy to carry. A good Pashmina is soft, lightweight, and almost delicate - take it from a former fashion editor. These are girly, soft, light and make you look pretty! Theyre the best Pashminas available anywhere! LOVE THEM!!!
You get what you pay for...     On: 2006-11-29

Very thin, semi-sheer shawl. Not suitable for fall/winter. If the term "pashmina" is what is attracting you to this purchase then you are making the wrong purchase, but if you would like a thin, soft, semi-sheer, flowing shawl than it will work for you. Dont get hung up on all the colors they claim to offer because I dont think they all really exist. I ordered "espresso" and clearly received a standard medium brown (and we all know espresso should be a deep brown). I dont think "espresso" ever existed to begin with. Just sounded good to offer.
Compliments Galore - Beautiful Pashminas!     On: 2006-10-29

I love these shawls! Never received so many compliments on Pashminas! I ordered the Gold and Peacock colors. The colors are beautiful! These shawls are very soft and theyre versatile. Ive been using them practically everywhere; going out, home, the office.

The delivery was really fast. Ive always been a big fan of Pashminas and have owned several, and I have to say these are the best so far given the great price.

I plan to order a whole bunch of these for Christmas gifts, and more for myself in additional colors.
Beautiful Shawls, Great Price!     On: 2006-09-24

These Shawls are beautiful & the colors are fabulous! Great Prices too! I even bought a couple of the Ombre ones. Customer Service was very good. Will definitely be buying more in several colors.
Wonderfully Surprised!!!     On: 2005-12-01

Extremely fast shipment. I received my order within two days!!!
The estimated delivery date had been 7 to 10 from the date the order had been placed. The shawl was packed very nicely and was almost as if I had received a gift from someone instead of making the purchase myself. It was a great end to an otherwise ordinary Monday.
