Kashmir Pashmina Shawl

Pashmina Care

When you invest in Pashmina, you are investing in a piece that will last a lifetime. Our Pashmina shawls and scarves are made from the finest quality fibers, but they still need your care to stay beautiful.

Here is how you can wash your pashmina:

Pashmina is a unique fabric that becomes softer with each use. For best results, Pashmina should be dry-cleaned using organic solvents after a season’s use. This process not only removes soil and stains but also maintains the shape, color, and look of the garment.

 

Hand Wash Tips

Here are some tips on how to handwash your Pashmina:

  • Wash in cold water using woolite.
  • Detergent must be dissolved completely before putting pashmina in water. 
  • Do not twist during washing.

 

  • Simply lay it flat to dry; do not wring it dry.
  • Use very low temperatures and iron with a cover sheet.
  • Hang it unbunched to loosen the wrinkles.

 

 

Storage

Storing your Pashmina correctly is key to keeping it looking fabulous. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Make sure your shawl is clean before you put it away. Food stains and body oils can attract moths and other pests.
  • Protect your pashmina by storing it in individual cotton bags. This helps keep it dry and safe from bugs. Cedar wood balls or cloves can add extra protection from insects. Don’t forget to air out your Pashmina periodically.
  • Never expose your Pashmina to direct heat or extreme sunlight, as this can damage the delicate fibers.
  • After each wear, give your Pashmina a gentle brush to remove dust. Always fold it neatly and stack it rather than hanging it in your closet to prevent stretching.

 

All you need to do is give it some attention while storing and washing the garment to keep it fresh for the upcoming years. It could become your best friend and lifetime partner if you know how to look after it.
