Some of the cashmere pashminas are almost 400GBP I think so I suppose with the dollar being so poor at the minute maybe almost 800 dont know the exchange rateswhich cashmere one are you talking about? i got a cashmere mcqueen scarf in october or so and it most certainly wasn't $800 , i think it was £235. it's the one with shagging skeletons on . it's worked out muuuch better value than either of my skull scarves, i wear it practically every day and i really have to remind myself to wear the skull scarves whereas with the shagging scarf (i believe the official name is kama sutra or something like that) i don't even think about it.
