An everyday Swati pashmina shawl in navy blue, handwoven in Salampur, Swat, and left plain: no border, no embroidery, just the cloth and the colour.
Where it sits in the range
Our Swati Shahtoosh is woven from fine Australian wool and is the softer, finer cloth. The everyday Swati pashmina is a sturdier, more affordable wool weave from the same Salampur looms, made for the days when you want something warm over your shoulders and do not want to think about it. If you want the finest hand, choose the Swati Shahtoosh; if you want a plain, dependable shawl for daily wear, this is the piece.
A note on the word pashmina
"Swati pashmina" is the Salampur weavers' own name for their softest everyday wool weave. It is a wool shawl, not the goat-fibre pashmina of Kashmir, and we price it as one. Swati vs Kashmiri shawls, explained.
The colour
Navy is the colour for people who want something darker than grey without going all the way to black. Plain and unembroidered, it goes with everything, including the brightest kurta you own.
