Pashmina Stole – 70x200cm – 70% Cashmere / 30% Silk – Pink Lady

Pink Lady is the pink we suggest when you want colour near the face without anything loud. This pale pink pashmina stole is a cool, apple-blossom shade, and the faint sheen of the silk keeps it fresh and luminous rather than sugary beside navy, dove grey or a pale blue dress.

It measures 70 × 200 cm and is woven by our weavers in Kathmandu from a 28-count, 2-ply yarn of 70% cashmere and 30% silk. The cashmere gives the warmth; the silk adds strength and helps the cloth fall smoothly. Both ends carry hand-twisted tassels, and the colour comes from AZO-free Swiss dyes. Worn open, it covers about two-thirds of the back; pulled through the loop, it makes a neat, warm scarf.

Buyers of this pink talk about the colour, the drape and the size. Helena chose it to wear with a dress at her son’s wedding and wrote that it “drapes perfectly”; she also found the swatch book “very useful in deciding exactly which colour to choose”. Julie, on her third pashmina from us, summed it up as “Lovely colour, great size and excellent quality”.
