Pashmina Shawl Price in Pakistan

Pashmina shawl is made from the hair of the rarest species of Changthangi/Cashmere or Capra Hircus goats found in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. The hair is collected from the underbelly of Cashmere goats and is spun into wool for manufacturing high-quality pashmina shawls and suits for men and women.

The best Pashmina shawls are handwoven and hand-spun with intricate embroidery along the borders. Other than shawls and suits, handwoven scarves, stoles, blankets, throws, wraps etc made out of pashmina wool are also highly sought after, especially in Pakistan. 

Characteristics of Pure Pashmina Shawls

You can tell the difference between real and fake pashmina shawl by looking for certain characteristics.

1. Pure pashmina will be matte in appearance, though some can have a slight sheen.

2. Burn a tiny fringe of the shawl and if it reduces to powder and smells like burnt hair, it is real.

3. Check for the diameter and don't buy anything above 19 microns. The best diameter to opt for is 14-15.5 microns as the lower the microns the better quality and soft texture pashmina has.

4. Nothing can be glued onto real pashmina. Even if it is, it won't stay on for long due to the silken soft texture of the fabric. So if you see some label or tag pasted or glued onto a pashmina shawl it is probably fake.

5. Pashmina shawls are handwoven so they will always have irregular weaving. 

6. Pure pashmina scarf and shawl is lightweight, soft and comfortable to wear.

Multiple online stores sell high-quality pashmina shawls and scarves at varied prices in Pakistan. Online whole sellers deal in Pashmina shawls and suits for Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad and all major cities in the country. With these tips in mind, you will most likely find the best and purest pashmina shawls online as well as in stores.
