This lovely & vibrant vintage scarf was accurately described & very reasonably price given its age. It’s like one I wore for school pic, so it was meant to be mine! It’s clear from our messages, his treasures & his customers matter to him. Shipping was immediate. My scarf arrived in a padded mailer, precisely gift wrapped in lovely blue tissue paper envelope. A delight to open. You’ll enjoy Jacob & his Shop of extraordinary antique fabric, trims, objet d’art - a visual history of bygone eras!
Absolutely a great wonderful transaction. Seller was so very nice and easy to deal with, we came to a very fair offer, and then the most well packed item I have ever seen arrived. So much thought care went into packing this fountain up that there was no way anything was going to happen to it in transit. Jacob really went the extra mile, even promptly responding back when I had a question on one of the pieces. This was an ideal purchase: great item, great packing and the very best seller ever!
Vibrant scarf, just like the listing! Incredibly soft. This shipped and arrived quickly, and was packaged well - quite the bargain! I appreciated that the seller reached out to let me know it was on the way and to provide an ETA; the personal touch was a pleasant surprise.
