This superior grade Pashmina fiber is used to create the world’s finest shawls, and is far removed from the commercially produced and often coarsely woven, blended, or faux “pashmina” that floods the fashion market.
In this particular Pashmina shawl, the weavers have chosen to use an especially lovely hand spun yarn in a solid shade of Platinum Gray, or Pale Pearl Gray. Delicate variations in the fine twist of the yarn and density of weave result in very subtle shifts of light and shadow, beautifully enhancing the texture of the petite Diamond weave pattern. This particular weave is called “BulBul,” or “Eye of the Nightingale” in Kashmir. Every aspect of the creation of this exclusive shawl, from the gathering of the natural Pashmina fiber, to spinning, dying, and weaving in Kashmir, has been accomplished through hand means by highly skilled artisans.
This luxurious and classic stole size Pashmina wrap features hand-rolled fringes on the end borders and is suitable to wear for any special occasion. Gracefully lightweight with a cloud soft touch, you will find this exclusive wrap worldly, sophisticated, and timelessly elegant.
