Lady Fashion Double-Sided Reversable Warm Cashmere Scarf 70″ x 25″, Shawl

The scarf is a cozy and stylish winter accessory for women looking for a warm and fashionable scarf option.

  • Material: Cashmere Imitation (Polyester, Viscose)
  • Size: 180cm x 65cm / 70.8″ x 25.6″

This type of accessory is often used as a fashionable way to keep warm during colder weather, and cashmere is a soft, luxurious material that is highly sought after for its warmth and comfort. A double-sided and reversible design allows for versatility in styling, as the wearer can choose which side of the scarf/shawl to display.

Cashmere imitation refers to materials that are made to look and feel like cashmere, but are not actually made from the wool of the cashmere goat. These materials can be made from a variety of fibers, such as acrylic or polyester, and are often more affordable than genuine cashmere.

While cashmere imitation may provide a similar look and feel to cashmere, it may not have the same level of warmth or durability. Genuine cashmere is known for its softness, warmth, and ability to regulate body temperature, making it a popular choice for winter clothing.

However, cashmere imitation may be a more affordable option for those who want the look and feel of cashmere without the higher cost. It’s important to read labels and understand what materials are used in cashmere imitation products to make an informed decision about purchasing.’

WHO WE ARE – About Us

 

The Elegant You is an online retail platform for those who value quality fashion designs. We have found a number of marvelous designers in our travels in the U.S. and abroad and are eager to present them here.

For years we have been in touch with fine craftsmen and artists whose expertise spans multiple generations – fashion houses smaller than Gucci or Chanel that are known in Europe but are not yet well known in America.  Our newly found boutique designers offer the same fine materials and superb craftsmanship as well-known brands and at affordable price.

The Elegant You is our first venture into online retail, but not the first in our online enterprises. Our company began as a U.S. manufacturer representative for a list of companies.  We sold their products wholesale to boutiques and retail chains. As the Internet speed grew, we decided to partner with a number of designers and use the newly invented drop-shipping method of delivering goods to customers.

Our collections ship directly from the designers’ shops.  We do not use “drop-shipping fulfillment centers” or big intermediary distributors whose inventory may include fakes and knock-offs.  (See our Product Authenticity page.)

We represent brands that we are in harmony with and designers we interact with on a personal and business level.  We vouch for their fidelity to the highest standards in fashion design. We invite you to read testimonials from purchasers on our designers’ pages and judge for yourself.  Along with our commitment to Elegance & Style, No Brand Tax is our un-spoken guarantee. We hope you will visit us often.
