Pure Pashminas, hand-woven: So delicate that you can pull this wrap through a ring.
Genuine Pashmina shawls come from Nepal and are a centuries-old tradition. Seven years ago they appeared on the London fashion scene and today no wardrobe anywhere in Europe is complete without a genuine pure Cashmere shawl. But in pure Pashmina they are getting harder and harder to find.
True luxury cannot be copied.
Many people have tried to copy the look of the Pashmina shawl. It cannot be copied in pure Cashmere however, as such a fine shawl cannot be produced as cheaply. The fine fabric is extremely soft and warm as only the finest, pure Cashmere (called Pashmina, Persian for diamond fabric) can be. Anyone can feel the difference immediately, and an expert can tell from a distance.Generous 36" x 80" (90 x 200cm) in size; yet only weighs 14oz (150g).
Genuine pure Cashmere is much lighter than other similar looking fabrics, which is why it's so versatile. It can be folded up to be compact and small yet tied in a variety of ways. You can wear it regally round your shoulders or wrap it around you as a fine shawl. Snuggle up with it to read, when you are outside on chilly summer evenings or on long flights. It will fit into even small handbags and you can unfold it whenever you want to feel its luxurious softness. Indispensable when travelling. 100% Cashmere (Pashmina). Hand wash. Exclusive to Fashion Classics.
Pashmina: the finest cashmere in the world.
It comes exclusively from the underbelly down of the Chyangra goat, which lives above 3,000m high in the mountain valleys of the Himalayas. The very delicate, extremely rare undercoat is combed very gently from the animal by hand, separated from any thick top hair, then woven. The result is sensational; this breezy fabric is probably lighter, warmer and softer than anything you have ever felt before.
Pashmina is very, very rare and expensive.
It is often mixed with silk to reduce the price. If not you have every reason to doubt whether it is genuine. Unfortunately, the Pashmina name is not protected, and so a cheap shawl might not even contain any Pashmina, possibly not even any wool, but be made of plain yarn artificially softened. You will find out very soon, the shawl will pill, become threadbare and unsightly. By contrast, genuine shawls of pure genuine Pashmina are timeless and beautiful for years, even if you wear it every day. All Pashminas you'll find at The Pashmina Store are handwoven, use the best quality materials and are delivered with a product certificate, so you can be sure you have a real genuine Pashmina.

Pashmina 100% Pure CashmerePure Cashmere Pashminas are a queenly item indeed! These special Pashminas are created with a more sophisticated weaving technique that's more like the gauzy quality of a Water Pashmina, but still dense enough to offer the best insulation possible. The blended Pashminas (silk/bamboo) have more of a silky smooth feel, while with a 100% Pashmina, you'll get a buttery softness that disappears against your skin. And the special properties of Cashmere wool allow pure Pashminas to keep you warm even in below freezing temperatures when tucked around you with the right techniques.

Pashmina 70% Cashmere / 30% ZijdeThese Pashminas are the most common ones you'll encounter on the market. They're a mixture between soft Cashmere wool and fine silk thread. The silk is mixed in with the Cashmere for a few reasons. The silk helps reinforce the delicacy of Cashmere, and when blended carefully with the Cashmere wool, allows a Pashmina to be created with a tight knit weave that provides excellent protection against the elements. Adding silk to the woven mix also gives the final product a pretty sheen that literally gives the wearer a glowing aura. Pashmina 70% Cashmere / 30% Silk Scarf - 30x150cm: €44.95 Pashmina 70% Cashmere / 30% Silk Stole - 70x200cm: €74.95

Water Pashmina - 90% Cashmere / 10% SilkThese Pashminas have a special league of their own. They have a highly unique weave that gives them translucent gleam. They have a beautiful water like transparency to them, but still hold their own in cool weather. I'm not saying they'll hold up against a blizzard like a 100% Cashmere Pashmina will, but they do offer a fair amount of insulation given the fact that they're also translucent. Water Pashmina Stole Single Color - 70x200cm: €69.95 Water Pashmina Stole Revesible - 70x200cm: €59.95 Water Pashmina Long Scarf - 30x200cm: €54.95

Pashmina 100% Pure SilkThese aren't a Pashmina in a traditional sense of the word. But their high quality composition of 100% silk makes them something special. They have excellent dye retention, making the final scarves richly colored. They're similar to a water Pashmina in their lightness and somewhat sheer appearance, but they're made with a finer thread and tigther weave. So they have a similar flow of smooth texture, but offer a different kind of breathability. 100% Pure Silk Jacquard Scarf - 35x180cm: €44.95 100% Silk Classic Stole - 70x200cm: €59.95
