Size and Fabric

Explanations of the basic options.

Color

Color is the trickiest parameter in the pashmina business. The big problem is how to make sure you're telling us exactly what you want. We've got two moderately helpful color sample pages: our own Color Chooser with digital swatches, and the Thread Chart (actually 4 linked pages: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]), with photos of the embroidery thread sampler that Kathmandu pashmina dyers actually rely on.

Embroidery

Lots of choices. You can choose the general style, placement, and colors.

Jacquard

Jacquard is a special kind of weaving that creates a repeated pattern of a particular design. The effect is rather like a watermark in paper -- the image is not a different color from the background.

Ombre

Ombre is an effect created by dying in two color baths, with the colors grading into each other.

Fringes and Beading

Our basic design entails 3-inch (8-cm) knotted fringes, but you can request shorter or longer fringes, with our without knots; or even no fringes at all. (For safety, baby  blankets are fringeless with silk border hemming.) We have quite a few variations of straight- and net-beaded fringes. You can choose the color and shape of the beads, and even create new designs. Beads can also be incorporated into embroidered designs.

Prints

We have two designs (so far), which can be applied on any size or fabric shawl or muffler.

Pret-a-Porter

("Ready-to-Wear") A limited (but expanding!) selection of items is available for immediate shipment from Ithaca, NY. Most of our sales are custom-made in Nepal, which means it takes about a week for your shawl to reach you. The pret-a-porter collection includes fresh, brand new shawls and scarves. Two-day (priority mail) shipment to US addresses is $7.25; Express Mail within the US and Global Priority to other countries (where available -- otherwise First Class Airmail) is a flat $14.50.

You should definitely be aware of our policies.
