I recently purchased this sleep mask. My explanations were not low coming from Ten Thousand Villages, but I’d never had one before, and wasn’t sure what to expect. The front is a luxurious silk brocade, and the face side is a comfy velveteen. The fragrance is reminiscent of a delectable cup of herbal tea. It makes for a restful nod off to sleep. And a refreshing wake up in the morning. My only complaint is that the elastic is too tight for my head. Not being able to really turn much myself, I can simply lay it over my eyes with very little difficulty.
