New pashmina styles for Autumn 09

We've introduced a baby sister to our ever popular starlight pashmina. It's a scarf size and is dotted with Swarovski crystals to give that dewdrop sparkle.
As promised on the Home Page here's a picture of the Bright Red and Pewter Grey scarves. Other colours are arriving all the time so keep an eye on the drop down lists or this blog. Alternatively, email your requests! http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=181

Especially for you - Continued with turquoise pashminas...

Also for Pat, our turquoise shawls.

We have a shaded lightweight with swarovski in Turquoise to pale and plain Green - Spearmint (this is paler than it sounds but not so washed out as the photo makes it seem!) http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=104

There's a Bargain box Beauty - slight flaw - Scallop Garland hand embroidery and embroidered with real pearls (seriously reduced -give me a call if you're interested!!!) This is also a lightweight Pashmina and Silk Shawl.

And finally our regular weight Pashmina and Silk Shawl with Beaded fringe http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=115

I hope that this gives you some ideas!

Especially for You - Pashminas in Purple

This is for Pat! I've bombed out so far on Lime - we have a perfectly plain one and a chiffon with lace on the website (100% Silk page) http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=132 But nothing with sparkle!

This is what I've come up with so far... The Lightweight shaded pashmina in the shawl size (note to our other customers: this isn't on the site, but is a large version of the summer scarf. Telephone orders only!). Amethyst to Pale Pink looks like this - SHORT FRINGE!!!!

The other colourway I mentioned was the Fuchsia to Peacock to Purple which looks like this

Bargain Box Beauties 3 - a raspberry ripple!

Possibly our final Summer Bargain Box Beauty is a lightweight Pashmina & Silk Large shawl in shaded raspberry.

This is a large size (90 x 200cms) but as it's a finer weave for the summer months, it scrunches down to a generous scarf size for the winter. And if we get that Indian Summer we're always promised, it's a generous shawl. A true bargain at £20.00 - email if you'd like to grab this one! orders@pashminasdirect.co.uk and quote RASPBERRY BLOG.

A Fuchsia - Pink and Purple pashmina

When we choose a colour combination for a shawl we know we're on the right track when we see a flower with that same shading. After all, Mother Nature can't be wrong! The flower is courtesy of Val- the king of our communal courtyard garden - and the lightweight pashmina & silk shaded scarf is PD014SUH Fuchsia-Peacock-Purple @ £24.50 http://www.pashminasdirect.co.uk/Details.asp?ProductID=174

Quite Interesting fact for any music lovers amongst you. The tree and squirrels in the courtyard garden feature in a song on Jason Mraz's splendid latest album. We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.

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).
