DANA XU 100% Mulberry Satin Silk Summer Travel Scarf Extra Large Women Floral Shawl Oversize Soft Wraps For Evening Dresses

I own eight of Dana Xu silk scarves, and two wool ones. Those scarves are true bargain. I love them! My mood is much better, when I have one of my scarves on. It adds color and sunshine into monotonous rainy days.

To get the negative out of the way first: I intensely dislike being lied to by any seller. The claim that these scarves are 100% mulberry silk is a straight up lie: that they cost between $18.99 and $36.99 (with up to 10% discounts on some) should clue us in immediately; with what mulberry silk would cost in manufacture, to make a profit, they would have to charge at least twice the price of the more expensive scarves. However, I now totally get the reason that an overwhelming majority of shoppers simply don't care about the exact content of the fabric, and remain loyal to this brand--they are selling beautifully designed and rendered scarves at a price point that is appropriate to what they actually are.There IS likely some silk content along with the nylon; enough, for example, to create the pleasing shimmer of the fabric, which does not refract light across the spectrum the complex way that 100% silk does, but which is a very pretty uniform white sheen. There is also likely enough silk content to lend the fabric a nice hand that warms to the touch--without going point by point, I will just say that all in all, this is a great fake--not for 100% Chinese mulberry silk--but for a lesser quality of silk. If the scarf is to be gifted, honesty is going to continue to be my policy, but these scarves are going to need the delicate treatment anyway: cool water/gentle fabric cleanser handwashing and drip dry--no wringing out. The scarf I chose seems unfortunately to be currently out of stock, but I do hope they bring it back, and will comment on it just in case they do: a floral pattern in a medley of shades of green and touches of red and burgundy. Red and green might sound a little funky or Christmassy, but it doesn't come off this way--it has a spring-to-summer appeal: the floral design has a William Morris-inspired vibe of design perfection to the smallest detail, of repeating buds, blooms, and wandering thorned vines (Redbubble has great examples in bedding, clothing and a variety of accessories--including scarves--but though they have excellent products worth discovery, I seriously doubt their (honestly represented) polyester scarves can match the quality of Dana Xu). I have not yet tried any Dana Xu scarves of "100% fine wool" (claim is wool of Australian origin), but having experienced the quality of the "silk," I definitely plan to buy more of those, and would be willing to try out the wool version, which I will of course review ;)

Oh my. I am SO pleasantly surprised! I hosted foreign exchange students for a couple of years. They always found a way to amaze me with gifts. My favorite gift I received from them was a large silk scarf from France. It is absolutely gorgeous and so light. It is not a high shine satin like silk. I’ve had a hard time finding the same quality of silk until now!!! This scarf is the exact same type of silk my scarf from France is. I absolute love it!!!!! And it is HUGE. I’m 5’5 so considered that when viewing my photo. It almost goes to the ground! 😍I’m returning the other scarves I tried off Amazon. Keeping this gorgeous one! I knew it was the keeper as soon as I pulled it from the package!

Original order was made to go with a specific outfit and I was dissapounted. I’d like to update my review more positively now. Although it was not the scarf I ordered, I have become quite fond of it. The fabric is luxurious, the colors are bright and it is very generous size. I have since ordered 2 more to give as gifts.

We went to a black tie dinner recently, and my husband had trouble with the dress selections because "these are all summer dresses!" I had to explain that ALL (or at least most) fancy women's dresses had minimal coverage in the sleeve region. However, I needed something to keep me warm in 50 degree rainy weather, out of desperation, I tried this. OMG, it WORKED! This shawl is so fine that you can see through it, but the silk keeps you surprisingly warm, and it's large enough that you can drape it a number of ways to suit your dress and the temperature. I am not at all a naturally elegant woman, but this shawl made me feel like I was.

First of all the packaging is beautiful! I bought this for myself but after seeing how they present it, I will definitely consider giving these as gifts. It looks exactly as described and feels wonderful. I can’t wait to wear this out. It looks much more expensive than $30!

Worth every penny. Quality scarf, uplifts any outfit, goes with everything, and I can't wear it without getting compliments. Packs small if you travel, doubles as sunscreen on the beach, long enough to wrap a few times, and is very warm in the winter. Kind of the perfect scarf.
