A pashmina is the elegant cover-up that works over almost anything, an abaya, an evening gown, a plain outfit that needs lifting. Larger than a scarf and softer than most wraps, it drapes beautifully over the shoulders and adds warmth without weight. It is one of the most useful pieces you can own in the UAE, where a wrap for cool evenings and over-cooled interiors is needed more often than the climate suggests.

Pashmina, cashmere and viscose

The word “pashmina” traditionally refers to a fine cashmere-type wool, prized for its softness and warmth. Today it also describes the shawl shape itself, which comes in cashmere blends and lighter viscose versions. Cashmere pashminas are the warmest and most luxurious; viscose versions are lighter and more affordable for warmer evenings. Each product page makes the fabric clear.

Everyday, occasion and bridal

A neutral pashmina in beige, grey or camel is an everyday elegant layer. Richer tones and embellished edges move into occasion territory, and a soft ivory or gold-toned pashmina makes a graceful bridal or event wrap. It is a piece that dresses up or down with ease.

How to drape a pashmina

Keep it simple for elegance: fold the pashmina in half lengthways and drape it evenly over both shoulders, or wear it open and let it fall long down the front. For warmth, loop it once around the neck; for occasions, drape it loosely off the shoulders so the fabric frames you.

Care and pairing

Hand-wash gently in cool water, dry flat, and store folded. A pashmina pairs naturally with an abaya, and picking up an accent colour from your outfit is an easy way to look pulled together. Our guide on choosing a colour for your skin tone helps you pick a flattering shade.

How can I tell a real pashmina?
Genuine cashmere pashmina is exceptionally soft, light and warm, and springs back when scrunched. We state the fabric content on every product page.
