I was recently introduced to a great online resource for affordable pashmina scarves called Pashmina International. In addition to selling a wide array of genuine pashmina shawls and scarves, the company's website also has quite a lot of useful tips and guides (if you don't know what a pashmina is, click here). Pashmina International also does nice things like charity donation and inspecting factories to check for good working conditions. Unless you're planning a trip to Nepal in the near future, I highly suggest you check them out and get yourself a nice, warm, versatile and stylish scarf. I actually own their merino wool shawl in oyster ($44.25), and I love it. It's classic and adds just the right touch to any winter outfit. Be sure to check out their bargain pashmina section where you can get a genuine cashmere and silk pashmina in a brilliant color for as little as $27.40. The real deal is worth it, and it'll cost you much less that it would cost you from a department store, so Pashmina International is worth a visit whether you're shopping for yourself or for holiday gifts.Visit Pashmina International (www.pashminainternational.com)
Featured above: BB models her merino wool shawl from Pashmina International. I swear I wear other shirts but I took all these photos on the same day and didn't feel like changing. Just focus on the fab scarf!
If you know someone who's traveling to India or another South Asian country, you could ask them to see if they could get a pashmina shawl from there. I've picked up beautiful pashminas to give as gifts for my American firends, from Sri Lanka, for less than $5!
Also you can check more pashminas from La Purse. They are about the same price and size. You can find bags there too. There are a lot of other websites in the web. check them out too. bye
