Which is THE mn scarf?

I wanted to buy a grey one but there are loads on eBay now. I know the one everyone was discussing was about a tenner but there are some even cheaper there now. Will they be the same scarf?

(Can't believe I'm asking about quality of a 4.99 scarf versus an 8.99 one!)

Which one do I need??!

Cheap doesn't always mean shite BUT they look nylon and scratchy Wink

no..i got one and it's very soft!

designer tatty on the edges and just the right leopard print. just the right side of Bet Lynch territory

i did look at others but they were smaller, this one is very fine and scrunches up very small, does not crease and drapes lovely! :D

Hmmmmm how long are they?

Catsmamma · 21/01/2012 16:16

mine is veeeeeeeeeeeery long

all around neck, and do ridiculous over under crossover in front with adequate end length and not tight enough to choke.

this is mine

Not sure it's the same link as above (same picture though, and not sure it is really actual cashmere silk but i am pleased with it!

And as a random aside the cat made a nest and slept on it, and she is a terrible snob...only really likes to sleep on my good bed linen or best patchwork quilt!

Hmmmm I like the grey one - leopard skin looks too Bet Lynch imo. Ok, I might be eating my words here! Grin

I have gone right off scarfs as every one is wearing them especially animal print. I got bought one for xmas (leopard print) and it looks chavy and makes me feel frumpy. Am really turning into a grumpy old woman Grin

Is there anyway to find these off EBay? I can't use EBay or PayPal :(

My MNet scarf is sooo soft !
Not at all cheap looking . Have a look at the reviews on Amazon - it doesn't have a bad review.
I have the blue on black and I'm getting the pink one for spring .

Mrs Meow I very very nearly got the purple one , but didn't because its my DDs favourite colour and although she is only 6 I would definetly lose it to her . I can just imagine her marching into school with it on .. I was horrified to find my Stila lipgloss in her book bag.

NannyPlumIsMyMum that made me chuckle. I have the brown leopard print one and agree that it is very soft, very long and I have worn it to death. No other scarf has had a look in this winter. It washes well and is flattering. I can't fault it. I even wore it as a sarong! I am worried that I have worn it too much...It has become my uniform, leopard print scarf, same coat....I might need to get a pink one for Spring too ;)

I have the purple one and brown one and love them both. My mum has the blue one and several work mates have various other colours. They are great value for a tenner.

HOWEVER, I think I saw Cora (old bag mum of Tanya) in Eastenders wearing the blue one the other day.......Hmmmm!

I have the brown and just got the grey and the price has gone down since I got the first one. Truly bargainous for the quality. Soft and huge. Am toying with getting a purple one too.
