I didn’t read reviews until after purchased and worn so I had no bias or expectation of low value. I’ve worn it twice and gotten great compliments! It’s stylish and cute and well worth the $20 I paid for it. I’ve had no shedding of or change to the Sherpa yet and… unless you’re rolling around on the ground or rubbing against something… I don’t see it happening. It’s an eye catcher and serves its purpose. I have no complaints here!
