We waved goodbye to our stunning Swan Lake Shawl within a few hours of putting it on sale, so now it is time for our peacock trimmed pashmina to strut its stuff. Another exhibition sample, this shawl is also £40 and a unique item. http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=256

Your chance to be the Swan...

Taking its place on centre stage on our special offers page is a shawl that was made to attract the eye at exhibitions - the centrepiece from our feathered pashmina collection, the Swan Lake Shawl. Totally over the top, yes. Deliciously camp, yes. But we'll be sorry to see it go! And it looks just fabulous on the black mannequin, so there's a tip girls! A little black dress and this baby, is all you need to be stunning.http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=255
More of our feathery friends to follow in Autumn/Winter shades...

Pashmina glamour for a fraction of the price
The last couple of months, as we've been setting up http://www.mayfair-valley.co.uk/ for our on-line luxury designs, I've been brutally going through our cupboards. It's brought to light some designs we'd forgotton and want to revisit, and some that have become classics that we no longer need style samples of. These are the hand embroidered and hand beaded pashminas that you usually only see in exclusive boutiques or high end retailers at huge prices.
http://www.mayfair-valley.co.uk/ brings luxury pashmina designs into your living room at a competitive retail price. And for smart buyers who keep an eye on the Pashminas Direct Special Offer page, there's the added bonus of picking up a sample of these designs at a third of the price.
Shawls that were languishing on our shelves have been finding homes and are being allowed to be fabulous!
So if you can live with the idea that the shawl you buy has been modelled http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=243 or has been a photography sample and has picked up a tiny mark on its travels http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=237, you can have the glamour of a £300 shawl for the fraction of the price. And who can see a tiny mark or an uneven weave when the shawl is being worn?

Especially For You - Bollywood Glamour!

For Penny:
Our classic Pashmina Cashmere & Silk Shawl 70 x 180 cms in White - Ivory is the whitest of the selection and has the sparkle of the beaded fringe. This is PD061 on the Pashmina & silk page @ £77.65 http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=115
We have a couple of stunning shawls in our ex-display samples and I will put them to buy on-line in the next few minutes. They will be on the Special Offers Page.
The PDV09exdisplay has a hand embroidered stylised flower motif that is almost a paisley design. Three pear cut Swarovskis add the sparkle and the embroidery carries the lengrh of the shawl. This shawl is currentlyavailable on our luxury site http://www.mayfair-valley.co.uk/. This sample is priced at £60 and has one small grey mark that is not visible when worn.
The Style PDV078exdisplay has a hand embroidered and beaded cutwork flower design around 4 sides of the shawl. This has a small area of scuffing near one edge but it is a stunning shawl that would normally cost at least £275 in a shop. This sample has a clearance price of £75.
A less sparkly alternative is an ex-display shawl featured on our Home Page which is priced at £45 and has flower trellis embroidery at the corners. PDV20exdisplay http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=64
I hope that this gives you a few ideas!

Especially For You - Pink & Ruby Pashminas continued
More for Catrina....
As you were looking at the reversible scarf - here are two in a larger size. Both are shawls (70 x 180cms)
This traditional style reversible will soon be on-line but isn't yet! It has a matt side (Burnt Orange) and a side with a sheen (Ruby) . This is the way that the cashmere & silk are woven. The price is £39.95. The colour differences are quite subtle.
If you fancy a bigger contrast, our sister company Mayfair Valley, has an upgraded version of the reversible. This is the same style as the scarves you were looking at. It's double woven to produce a sheen on both sides of the pashmina. This means it uses twice the cashmere and so comes in at £69.95. This is still a lot less than the retail price which would be at least double. The shawl is Black with a ruby reverse and might be perfect to give a hint of drama to your black dress without being over the top.
Other options.... On our clearance page there is a herringbone shawl at £20.00. There is one bordeaux shawl left. The herringbone weave gives a glimmer that livens up the shawl.
Or... We can have a Plain Stole (the small shawl size 45 x 180cms) made into a Swarovski Starlight for you. We currently have these colours in stock : Fuchsia Pink, Candy Pink, Shocking Pink and Ruby Red. If you decide to have this made into Starlight stole it will take two-three days. The price for a one-off in this size is £49.50
You can see this style in pinks in the small scarf size on our Home Page.
I hope that this helps!
Especially for you - Ruby and Pink Pashminas
For Catrina
A Pashmina & Silk Shawl (70 x 180 cms) with a scallop border edged in silk and a silk bow in each corner. This is a special clearance price of £59.95. We have one Ruby Red left. The silk border gives a shimmer and so this one is the most suitable for evening wear .
100% Shaded Shawl - this is currently in our special offers section - but here's a picture of Strawberry to paler (£39.95) http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/offers.asp
