New Pashmina Beaded colours - A Preview for A/W 2009/10

We're getting our Autumn/Winter stock in now, so I thought I might put up a sneaky picture of these gorgeous beaded fringe shawls.

This shawl has always been one of our most popular designs - the sparkle is just enough for evening without feeling overdone - and we have the welcome return of Pewter Grey and a first showing for Lavender, Plum and Bordeaux. All great colours for this season.

Keep an eye on the website - these will be available to buy in September.

PS. (Although if anyone telephones an order through, I wouldn't ever stand between a girl and her prospective pashmina).

How to wear a pashmina square (or any other square scarf)

New for Autumn/ Winter 2009 2010 will be the square scarf. Of course, we in Pashmina Land think purely in pashmina cashmere terms and don't hold with all these man made equivalents. And we've got a couple of gorgeous 100% pash. square treats coming up on PashminasDirect....
Still the same principles apply to wearing the beast (whatever its content).

So how do you wear it?

Here we must bow down to the Italians in their passion for accessories and all things pashmina. The large square scarf - and I mean about 1 metre squared, no little pathetic neckerchief - should be folded into a triangle with the centre point down your chest like a cowboy. The two side points of the triangle are then crossed behind the neck and brought forward so that they drape down over your shoulder blades. Simple and elegant, or rock-chick chic, whatever is your flavour.
