Pashmina stole with beaded tassels — Provence (blue)

About this beaded pashmina stole

Provence is a gentle cornflower blue with a slightly dusty finish, the kind of blue that looks calm rather than bright. On this cornflower blue pashmina stole the beaded tassels are colour-matched, so the sparkle stays in the same soft family and nothing jars.

The stole is 70 × 200 cm, woven in our 70% cashmere and 30% silk blend, which is soft with a slight sheen. Its tassels are strung with colour co-ordinated beads, threaded and knotted on by hand so you need not worry about them coming loose, and they catch the light as you move. Wear it open over the shoulders for a wedding or a spring party, or double it and pull the ends through the loop as a scarf.

Worn open, the stole covers you from the neck to the waist, so it is a practical cover-up for a cool church or an evening outside. If you would rather have Provence without beads, it also comes as a plain pashmina stole, in pure cashmere or in this same blend, and as a gingham stole. Made in Nepal.

Soft cornflower blue, mid in depth, sums up Provence. It is gentle rather than bright, with a slightly dusty finish. The undertone is cool and clean. It flatters with white, cream and navy, and works well with denim. Pale grey and silver give a calm, coastal look. Try it with a yellow or coral dress for a summery contrast. It suits lunches outdoors, spring weddings and easy everyday wear.
