CANADIAN OOT BAG info...where to shop!

[FutureMrsDawson]

Ladies I went by Dollarama at lunch today and they have those bathing puffs 3 for $1.00.  They are the smaller size but better than using a face cloth to wash in the shower.

I have these same pasminas and you won't be disappointed with the quality if you do decide to get them. I'm not overly surprised that people are getting different information from this place though. My lil sis picked them up from the actual store in NYC and said it was SUPER sketchy! She wasn't overly happy that I sent her ont his little excursion which she said was pretty scary! Maybe email back and say that a friend named Annie received a better deal and use the info that Annie posted??

Just to be clear the email I used was [email protected] and I was talking to someone named Luanna. They had asked ground or express in the email conversations and I said the cheaper of the two but then it was shipped express anyway. I spoke to them over the phone to do the credit card transaction because I didn't want to email my cc number, their number is 212-779-8872.

 

The little tags on them say 100% pashmina, which according to wikipedia:

Pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it.^[1][2] The name comes from Pashmineh (پشمینه), made from Persian pashm ("wool").^[2] The wool comes from changthangi or pashmina goat, which is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas in Nepal, Pakistan and northern India

 

And they really are super soft and feel really nice. They are also pretty big, when I measured it out it's 6 ft long not counting the little tassles and just over 2ft wide.

 

I dug em out to take pictures:

 

 

That's it in the package it came in - now, the rest of them are all beautifully folded in their individual packages that say Pashmina like this one, but this is the one I took out to feel and stuff and I couldn't get it folded back the way it was, lol.

 

 

This is it out of the package, the color shows up funny in the pictures or maybe its the bad lighting in my living room but its a really nice bright turquoise

 

This is it opened up and stretched across my sectional couch, like I said its about 6 feet long x 2 feet 2inches wide, but its silky enough that if you double it up and loop it around your neck as a scarf its not bulky or anything, but you can also use it as a big wrap/shawl and its very smooth on the skin.
 

Anyway, that ends my little pashmina information session. You tell them someone you know bought 2 dozen pashmina's. I paid$54 for 2 dozen then another $50 for shipping, but I could have had the $30 ground shipping.. oh well.. they are here and I really like them so I guess my total cost per one is really $4.33 as opposed to the $2.25 that sounded so good to begin with, so if you do have someone going to NYC it would be way better, but this is good too. And I'll tell FI that it was 2.25 for one, lol. Shipping shouldnt count
