A Multitude of Ways to Wear the Ultra-Versatile Pashmina

If you’re choosing which Pashmina shawl to wear, would you go for a 36" x 80" light blue and black gradient shawl or a red embroidered Pashmina shawl? Over the years, this Nepal-born product has emerged as a favorite accessory among women from all parts of the world. But what exactly is it about Pashmina which makes it a standout among all the other materials used in making shawls? Pashmina is the name of a breed of goat that grows in the Himalayan mountains. Being at such a high altitude, they need to have that natural protection against warmth, and that is exactly what their inner coat does. The goat’s inner coat is gathered as wool, and the fibers are hand-woven into intricately-designed, beautiful, luxurious Pashmina shawls.

Aside from the different colors and patterns of Pashmina shawls that you can choose from, there is also a variety of materials available. If you want the full-fledged experience of wearing a Pashmina shawl, you can choose a 100% Pashmina shawl. If it indicates in the label that the shawl is 70% Pashmina, it means that the rest of the material is made from silk fiber. It also pays to choose a Pashmina shawl that is hand-woven so that you will get that luxurious feel that this accessory is known for.
