Cynthia's Feathers 80g Chandelle Feather Boas over 30 Color & Patterns

They served their purpose. Bought for a Bachelorette party. They shed everywhere all night long. We left a trail of pink feathers. 💗 🤷‍♀️

I was excited to see this boa, which I purchased for part of a Halloween costume. I’d previously purchased a different boa from another Amazon vendor and was thrilled with what I received. This time around, the price was more modest - and so was the boa. On the upside, the color of the feathers is lush and rich - an interesting mix of chocolate brown and an almost mauve hue. The feathers are soft and overall they are sewn evenly on the boa, creating a nice “lift” and flowing feeling. However, there are issues: 1) The feathers are far less dense in this boa than in others I’ve used. This boa is more sparse, especially at its ends, where the feathers just….stop. 2) Speaking of ends, I thought there was a major problem when I first looked at the boa, because at the ends on either side of the boa, there are not only NO feathers covering the end, but also raw canvas or burlap ties at the end stick out. These canvas ties are ugly, knotted pieces that are glaringly obvious without any feathery coverage. 3) As other reviews mention, this boa sheds!! Feather loss is consistent and more than anticipated. Overall, while I kept this boa because it was too late to replace before Halloween, I would not purchase from this vendor in the future.

I was looking for fluffy, as this is being used for Halloween decoration. It works well for what I needed. It is more substantial than another play boa I purchased in the past.This is not an ostrich feather boa. You can see the difference compared to high-end vintage boas, which are usually thickly layered longer feathers. But there were cheap boas in the olden days, too!As other reviews also mention:1…It sheds a lot right out of the bag. Pieces of feather and pieces of feather stem. I opened it over the kitchen’s tiled floor, so I was able to catch all the little pieces in a wet cloth to clean up.2…It doesn’t work to just give it one vigorous shaking out, and then expect to not shed anymore. It just keeps on shedding. I assume that because it’s machine tied, not hand-tied. So the tying is haphazared.3…If you care to look closer, you’ll see that some of the feathers are cut off. It’s still fluffy, but this is not a handmade vintage-style boa.So these look like negatives, but only if you are trying to look like Josephine Baker for real. I got just what I paid for, and I’m happy!Happy Reader

Just what I needed. The color was amazing. Just sheds alot.

Used for a filler on a homecoming mum. Worked great.

Only complaint I have is that it shed so much very cute long length

Bought this for a talent sow flapper costume. It was very thin and the feathers started to fall out right away. Worked for what I needed for the 2 minute dance. This is something that you can use for a few hours and then it will need to go into the trash.

These are much nicer than the others. My only problem was that the color came off on my sweater. Wear black not white or cream! Open outside, shake, let it hang a bit.
