The benefits of a pashmina shawl

Pashmina wool has a very soft, luxurious and silky texture. The softness of wool fibres is determined by their diameter, which for pashmina can be as fine as 12 to 15.5 microns. It is also warm, which makes it a good choice for cold weather.

Add an elegant touch to your outfit with a lightweight pashmina scarf. These shawls are made from a soft, lightweight fabric. Throw one over your shoulder for evening wear, or wrap it around your neck when the weather is cool.

A fine-knit pashmina with braided tassels at the hem makes a special accessory. Pashmina scarves are versatile and a good investment for morning, evening and all seasons. Their insulating qualities make them a popular choice in the winter months, and they are warm without being heavy.

Is a pashmina shawl a good gift?

Pashmina shawls are among the most popular shawls. When you give a pashmina shawl, you give a classic piece that can be enjoyed for years: warm, stylish and elegant.

How do I know if pashmina is good quality?

Look at the product description for the fibre content, as blends may include silk or other fibres. A good pashmina should feel soft against the skin and have neat edges and finishing. If you are unsure, check what the seller states about the fibre content.

Caring for a pashmina shawl

Can pashmina be washed?

Dry cleaning is the preferred method to care for your pashmina. However, you can clean it at home by following the care instructions. Fine wool should be hand washed in cold water, and you should check the care label before machine washing.

How long does pashmina last?

With the right care, a pashmina can stay in good condition for many years. Washing it after every wear will wear down the fibres and fade the colour, so it is best to air it between wears and clean it only about once a year.

Orders are normally dispatched within 24 hours, with free tracked UK delivery, 60-day free paperless returns and a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
