Pashmina Scarf – 30x150cm – 100% Cashmere – Grape Royale

Grape Royale is a dark, kingly purple warmed by a touch of red: saturated, but calm rather than showy. This purple cashmere scarf looks handsome with black, charcoal or grey, brightens a navy coat, and suits both gold and silver jewellery. It belongs at smart evenings out, from a night at the opera to a graduation day.

At 30 × 150 cm, the smallest size in this cloth, it goes twice round the neck over an evening coat, or loops once with the tassels left hanging. Those tassels are twisted by hand, and the cloth itself is a 2-ply twill in pure cashmere, left unbrushed so the long fibres stay strong. The purple is dyed with AZO-free Swiss dyes.

It makes a good graduation present: Wendy, who has bought from us many times, writes “Buy for gifts and recipients always delighted”. Gifts, softness and rich colour come up again and again in reviews. Some found the cloth thinner than they had expected, and Paul, a Narcissus buyer, wished he had chosen “a longer version”; in Grape Royale, the large scarf at 45 × 200 cm gives more to wrap.
