"Shawls ... made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify. Those who have received these shawls have been uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to fly above their troubles…”I didn't know that there is a meaning for shawl. I love shawl because of the colors. And it can sometimes make me warm when its a cool weather. I thought it was just a purely fashion base knowlege.

My lovely sister brought 3 shawls for me from Singapore.
- pink (toning from pink to light pink)
- Blue (tonning from blue to light blue)
- black
3 of them are normal shawl. My sister brought it in a warehouse sales. 3 for s$10. Converted to RM is about RM23. Per shawl is almost rm8. Shopping malls in KL are selling RM20++ for 1 shawl... See how much they earn.
