Behind this piece
Water-Pashmina is a cloth of contradictions: fine as mist, warm as altitude. Woven in the Himalayan workshops of Nepal, it blends pure silk with the softest grades of wool to produce a textile that drapes with the fluidity of the former and breathes with the insulating depth of the latter. The reversible construction, a quietly demanding technique, means both faces are finished to the same exacting standard. Each colour, from the mossy depth of Kelp Forest to the pale radiance of Marshmallow, is chosen to honour the stole's mountain origins without constraint.
How to style
Draped loosely over a fine Chanderi kurta, this stole elevates a weekday lunch into something considered. For evening, fold it into a narrow wrap over a silk blouse and cigarette trousers; the Grape Shake or Magenta Purple reads beautifully under warm light. Travelling diaspora shoppers will find the Faded Denim or Antique Green tones pair effortlessly with western tailoring too. Keep jewellery restrained, a pair of silver drop earrings or a single gold bangle is sufficient. Slip on leather mules or block-heeled sandals and the look holds across seasons.
Fabric & care
Hand-wash in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral shampoo, never a detergent. Submerge gently, do not wring, and press the water out against the basin wall. Roll the stole in a clean cotton towel to absorb excess moisture, then lay it flat on a drying rack away from direct sun. Silk-wool blends lose their structure under heat, so skip the iron entirely; a cool steamer held at a distance refreshes the drape. Store folded in muslin, not a plastic bag, and keep a cedar block nearby to discourage moths.
