We all know that buying something without seeing it can be tricky as pictures often don't do justice one way or another.I needed to update my "royal throw fleet" as the last ones I bought are few years old and being used constantly now they graduated to the pet blankies and I needed new beautiful ones.The colors I needed were pink, white and turquoise. I bought each color from different vendor on amazon and today they arrived and I can share my experience.The color I got is Turquoise. I specify that as from my experience sometimes items very to fabric or finish from color to color and as much as one can assume they are all the same minus the color, I can not attest tot he other colors but I can totally vouch for the Turqoise.HERE IS FEW THOUGHTS:- OMG! This is love from the first sight. The moment I opened the shipping box, looked it and lifted it I knew I got a winner.- THE COLOR IS SUPERB! I saw a lot of different interpretation of the Turqoise color, the throws run the gamut.. from super gorgeous and saturated to dull and almost dirty. This one is just perfect! This is a true turquoise, well saturated and intense without being harsh, brutal and cheep looking.- The shine of the velvet finish is just right, it is very Lucius and perfect. The fabric looks very expensive and substantial. It is not one of those fabric that looks nice until you feel it only to realize that it is thin and cheap. NOPE.. this fabric is SPECTACULAR front and back.- THE COZY side has just right Sherpa clould-like fabric that is curly like a young baby sheep. It is fluffy and soft and cozy and just perfectly cuddly. It is meaty so to speak... it has substance, it is not cheap, not thin and not straight as many fake Sherpas are. It is so cozy and light that you just want to wrap yourself grab a nice glass of vine and sit by the fireplace with a good book or a great company.- The WEIGTH - perfect. I am not sure why some of those throws out there are either too light and cheap like dollar store kind or so heavy that you can't believe as the small throw weights a tone. I am not a fan of either kind. This throw is EXACTLY PERFECTLY WEIGHT of fabrics as you would expect. They are cozy without pushing on you but keep you warm but gently cozy wrapping you and keeping you body heat close to you.- The size.. standard super balanced to perfection ideal for one person to wrap as needed. I am tired of the throws that are baby or toddler sized but sold as standard without the warning. This one IS PERFECTLY SIZED.I am washing it for the first time as all new items that arrive. I will update you how it took wash or perhaps I will rather leave it as is if no problems to report. So if you won't hear from me again that means all good.I wash it separately without any other garments or items in the wash as they should be washed as I always did and will do as those little clouds stay perfect and do not pick up any free floating lint that could come off other items even of the same color. The same for drying.PACKAGING AND PRESENTATIONI wanted to do a honorable mention of the wrapping. Normally I don't care about how things come as wrapping or boxing since they are usually contributing to landfill issues but in this case the packaging and presentation is just so prize deserving it can not to be left out.For those who are s hopping for a gift -this delivers. The item comes so beautifully and carefully arranged and adorned in the beautiful silk-like satin ribbon and has one corner lifted and folded for demonstration of the inner side and instant adoration.The throw is folded to perfection, it is stapled with plastic threads so it keeps the form - beware if opening in front of kids or pets, dispose immediately for safety!The package is fantastic, clear see through good solid foil with zipper, it is really great bag to have and recycle at home for other items. I love to rotate my nice pillowcase throws in the Livingroom, some of them are special holiday ones with embellishments and such, and having this extra bag is awesome as this is my go to storage way. I love it.So bottom line is.. it is ideal throw for my use as it is perfectly sized, weighted, it is gorgeous comes to color and fluffy fabric side and the velvet side is amazingly Lucius and fabulous. It serves the purpose perfectly. Warm cozy and gorgeous. I highly recommend it. I bought few other throws that are now looking at me begging me for mercy not to return them but truly this one takes the cake.I don't like to return things and maybe I will keep them but truly, I wasted time and energy buying the other brands. This is the best blank I could ever imagine. VERY happy with it VEEEEEEEEEEEEERY HAAAPPY!!!!One of the BEST AMAZON purchased to the date and I go back quite few years with my shopping.I got the 60 by 70 blanket and it is incredibly soft. I read other reviews that said it smelled bad but I had no problem at all with the smell. I also read reviews that said it fell apart in the wash but mine did not and I've washed it twice. I'm definitely getting another one but probably the larger size. This is a fantastic blanketI got this as a gift for my aunt twice now! She loves blankets and just being comfortable (as do I), so this worked out perfectly! It’s SUPER soft, lightweight and the blanket comes in many cute colors. First time I purchased the red which was a really deep, pretty red. Second time, I purchased the champagne pink colored one which is also very, very pretty. Would highly recommend for all blanket lovers!I like everything about this product. I have purchased three of them, one for me and two as gifts. They are happily received by all. Thank you.This is my first Serpa blanket purchase and I couldn’t be more pleased with the softness and warmth! The blue color is awesome and I have another already as a birthday gift for my 15 yr old granddaughter!Purchased as gift. It they loved the color and enjoyed the warmth.Thank you!Huge. Soft. Amazing. It is one of my favorite material items ???This throw is so soft and light and yet still warm. I absolutely love it.I love the blanket, however, I paid $101 for it and when it arrived the receipt in the bag said it was $33.99... what a huge price jump! Not impressed! Great product but feel ripped off big time!Vraiment content très doux de très grande qualitéSo soft and warm!! I love it.
