The Newar women of Nepal are known for their dedication to tradition and their crafts, as well as creating one of the most socially and politically advanced communities in the Himalayas. To make these cozy and colorful convertible mittens, wool is spun into yarn and then dyed in large vats. Nepalese women get together in groups to knit and embroider the mittens by hand.

"Lovely quality; fits on the large side"
The batik design and color are just gorgeous, as is the sewing quality. The style would be very versatile to dress up or down. However, I am returning the dress for two reasons:(1) Even with the fit chart guidance, the size S is too roomy in the torso. The chart measurements look perfect for me, but the loose fit just hangs like a tent on me. It doesnt seem to come in a smaller size. To note: I am small but not tiny (I usually wear USA size 4-6 in other brands.)(2) Id prefer a rayon that is woven, not this knit. I like that it is lightweight, but find that this kind of knit clings in hot sticky weather. Cotton knit might be better, too.
Best Uses
- Dress up or down for any occasion

"So many compliments"
I am a senior woman in San Diego and I wear this vest often. Almost every time, someone will compliment the vest. So it keeps me warm and lookingpretty.

"Nicely made!"
The scarf is long enough and nicely made. The vibrant colour warms the winter days!

"Beautiful, but..."
Beautiful embroidery only on one side, other side is plain -- see picture.Too big, why not make two or three different sizes?Otherwise it is wonderfully warm and soft inside. I want to love it but am ambivalent about keeping it. I would like to exchange it for a smaller size.

"Not as advertised"
The Good: The embroidered flowers are beautiful. The Bad: The flowers are only on ONE SIDE of the hat. The picture shows the hat in profile so its technically accurate, but kind of sneaky advertising. I look kind of weird and lopsided with only one side of the hat heavily decorated. Also, another review described beads and buttons incorporated in the embroidery. My hat did not include this. So Im disappointed and returning the product.

"Run small"
I wear size 6 but these too snug for me, with or without socks. May reorder size 7, as I really like them.
