- In my 40’s I learned about the pleasure and magic of cashmere…and thought I had gone to heaven. Then I met Dechen and felt the highest quality cashmere (Pashmina) in the world. I bought the most beautiful and exotic shawls for the most important women in my life -- my wife, my mother, executive assistant and a long time friend. They were amazingly soft and the colors spectacular! Graduate to Pashmina – you are worth it!” — – Jim Horan, Author & President of the “One Page Business Plan”, Berkeley, California,

- 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 Valentine Day Gift. Thanks for your help! — John, Feb 2010

- Before purchasing a shawl I went to Bloomingdales, Nordstroms in San Francisco. Dechen has absolutely 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 2006 Christmas Show.

- I absolutely love my 3 Cashmere Shawls and the beautiful jewelry that I’ve bought from Dechen Designs. Thanks again – I always feel like a queen in one of your shawls, it’s like no other! — Diane Fleck, Founder & Executive Director of “The Learning Café”, Pleasant Hill, California

- Dechen, it's always a treat visiting with you at your special events. I knew when I tried on my first Pashmina a few months back that I was destined to be one of your admirers. As you know, I've bought your Cashmere Shawls at Clocks Etc. and Terzetto's since then. Yesterday, I wore one of your pashminas to staff the Valley Art Gallery, and a visitor said I looked beautiful and took a picture. I really felt good then! All the best" — Mary Shea, Orinda, California

- Dechen has become more and more creative in her endeavors. Her shawls and jewelry are simply exquisite and different from most craft in our areas. Dechen has always displayed an artistic nature and entrepreneurship in her business venture. I simply love the style, colors as well as simplicity and peace in this particular art form. — Betty Crabtree, Livermore
