Gingham stole — Black

About this gingham pashmina stole

The deepest shade in the range, this black is solid and even. It has no visible undertone, so it works with warm and cool colours alike. It sharpens bright prints, softens loud colours and grounds pastel outfits. Wear it with grey, camel, white, red or jewel tones. Silver, gold and pearls all show up well against it. It is right for the office, dinners out, funerals and black-tie evenings.

Gingham brings a small, even check to a soft pashmina, a pattern that feels relaxed rather than formal. It suits weekends, country walks and spring days: knot it at the neck over a shirt or a quilted jacket, or wear it open over a plain knit. At 70 × 200 cm the stole is the most worn size: wide enough to wrap the shoulders over a dress, and easy to fold lengthways and wear as a generous scarf with a coat. It is the size most people choose for weddings and evenings.

70% cashmere and 30% silk is our classic blend: the cashmere brings warmth and softness, and the silk lets the cloth be woven a little tighter, which gives it a faint sheen and a crisper drape. Handmade in Nepal.
