Pashmina Large Scarf – 45x200cm – 70% Cashmere/30% Silk – Pink Lady

Pink Lady is a pale, cool pink, and woven in cashmere and silk it takes on a soft sheen that keeps it looking fresh rather than sweet. This baby pink pashmina scarf has the length to dress up or down: wound loosely over a grey jumper and jeans at the weekend, or worn open with a pale blue dress at a spring wedding.

It is 45 cm wide, fuller than our small scarf but narrower than a stole, and 200 cm long. Folded in half and pulled through the loop, it drapes to roughly waist height; opened out, it reaches across the shoulders and upper back. The cloth is 70% cashmere and 30% silk, handmade in Nepal.

Nicky, on her third purchase, finds it “Excellent for dressing an outfit up or down and works so well with tweed”, and Nina, who normally finds everything itchy, says it is “So comfortable around the neck”. Barbara found the colour paler than she expected, and two large-scarf reviewers, one of them in this colour, had expected it to be wider. For more cover over the shoulders, choose the Pink Lady stole or shawl.
