CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS:

"Dechen, We met out at Ruby Hill Winery in Livermore a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to say that my wife loves the shawl I bought from you for her V-day gift. Thanks for your help!" John, February 2010

"Dechen, I just wanted to tell you how much I love my shawl. I wore it to my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner and it was a perfect match for my "Mother of the Bride" dress at the wedding. It's so soft . I felt beautiful! Thanks again!" -- Marie Knutson, Owner, The UPS Store, Martinez, California

"I absolutely love my 3 Cashmere shawls, the beautiful jewelry and hand bags that I've bought from Dechen Designs. Dechen is so very helpful with color, accents and how you can wear her beautiful shawls in a variety of ways. Thanks again -- I always feel like a queen in one of your Cashmere shawls, its like no other!" -- Diane Fleck, Founder and Executive Director of The Learning Cafe, Pleasant Hill, California

"I did my homework before purchasing a shawl. I went to major department stores in San Francisco -- Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, Loehmann's and they all did not have the quality or selection. These are truly the best shawls and scarves I've seen and the prices are amazing. Dechen's blown the department stores out of the water with her price, quality and selection. She has a winning personality to boot! I'll always love my purchases." -- Sherida Evans, Federal Way, Washington

"When I first came across Dechen Designs, I was delighted with the eclectic selection and lovely quality of items on display. Gorgeous pashminas, hand-beaded georgette blouses and one-of-a-kind purses adorned with feathers, beads and all sorts of amazing designs sat side-by-side with Tibetan Prayer Wheels and other sacred Buddhist artifacts. I came back with several friends and we all agreed that Dechen's fabulous merchandise would be at home in a chic, expensive, boutique - but the prices are totally affordable. We liked Dechen Designs so much we arranged to have a private showing!" -- Liz Barrett, Walnut Creek, California

To Dechen Lama at Dechen Designs:
"I just want to let you know what a pleasant find you were during the Christmas season. The pashminas and scarves that I purchased for myself and friends are absolutely beautiful - the recipients were thrilled. The quality and price are fantastic - the pashminas feel like butter; they're incredible. Your willingness to educate me about the different types and how they are made was fascinating and much appreciated. I can't wait to find out about other beautiful items that you sell." -- A happy, satisfied shopper -- Rhonda Weber, Hercules, California

"I have enjoyed meeting Dechen and have been impressed with her merchandise, personal charm and courtesy. She takes the time to answer questions and offer solutions. She has exquisite taste and her selections are fabulously trendy yet classic and appealing, I think to all ages, and at great prices. I am happily anticipating the day she opens a boutique!" -- Joan Hurd, Pleasant Hill.
