Our Pashminas

Our product range began in 2003 with the classic 70/30 pashmina, which is made of 70% pashmina cashmere wool and 30% high grade silk. Our silk is sourced from China, and is graded 210, high quality. It is the silk which gives the pashminas a slight sheen, and this means that the pashmina will catch the light as well as being soft and warm. These pashminas are 2 ply, giving them a little extra weight, and this also helps them to hang beautifully.

Pashmina is the generic name for the fabric, and as such can be produced in varying sizes. Our 70/30 pashminas are available in four different sizes, the scarf, wrap, stole and shawl. The scarf, at 30cm x 150cm, is the right size to be worn lightly around the neck, and in a contrasting colour will elegantly set off a coat or jacket. The wrap is rather larger at 45cm x 165cm, and is the ideal size to be draped around the shoulders over a strappy dress. This pashmina is perfect for keeping out the chill of a summer evening, and is still light enough to be worn as a scarf too.

The stole and shawl are both 200cm in length, and it is this length that makes them so versatile. They can both be held elegantly over the arms, one end could be thrown casually over one shoulder, or they can even be doubled over and worn as a scarf in the winter. The shawl is 90cm wide, and would hang from the nape of your neck right down your back. You can really wrap up warm and cosy in one of our shawls! The stole is 70cm wide, and so can be worn in many different ways.

The 70/30 natural pashmina is our most popular range, and there are many colours to choose from within the four sizes.
