“I've bought 'pashmina' from Thamel three times — three times it was acrylic. This one passed the burn test. It's real.”
“Bought my mother a shawl five years ago. It still looks new, no pilling, no shedding. The weave is honest.”
“I run a boutique in Pokhara. I source all my pashmina from Himalayan because they let me visit the weavers. That transparency is rare.”
Every shawl ships with a burn-test sample yarn. Light it — real pashmina smells like burnt hair, synthetic smells like plastic.
Pure pashmina is warmer and drapes heavier. Silk-blend (70/30) is lighter and has more sheen. Both are honest — we label them clearly.
Hand wash cold with mild shampoo, lay flat to dry. Never wring. We include a printed care card with every shawl.
Yes — within a week to most countries via DHL. Customs is on you, but we'll provide an invoice for the burn-test certificate.
