Aisha, I bought the geranium color shawl collar cardigan, and all their colors are a little lighter than they are showing online. It's not really red the way it looks on the computer, it's a very bright vibrant reddish pink. The cardigan is very cropped (it falls above my hip bone). I don't have a picture of myself wearing it, but here's Patience wearing it on another thread:

That's the fresh clover color. See how it's a bit lighter in person?
My biggest issue with cashmere from lots of other places is that it's usually available only in neutrals and pastels, neither of which are that great on me. The quality is higher though if you go with a department store like Sak's, Bloomingdale's or Nordie's, I do agree with that. It's just that a plain black or lilac colored sweater doesn't excite me that much, so even if the thing is fantastic and will last me the rest of my life, I'd probably end up never wearing it. If you want bright colors and stuff, then you'll probably have to sacrifice on quality a bit (which is unfortunate). But if you're looking for neutrals, I'd probably go with a more expensive department store line, because if you do want a black sweater or whatever, you might as well get a great one if it's available. Make sense?
