FAQS

1. What are pashmina scarves?
Pashmina scarves are fine, lightweight wraps woven from pashmina, a type of cashmere wool sourced from the underbelly of the Changthangi goat in Ladakh and Nepal. The fiber measures just 12 to 16 microns in diameter, making it extraordinarily soft and warm. True pashmina is hand-combed, never sheared, and woven on traditional handlooms by Kashmiri artisans.
2. Where can I buy pashmina scarves?
You can buy pashmina online at maneesharuia.com. Our collection of pure pashmina scarves and wraps includes superfine plain styles, hand-embroidered wraps and embellished pieces featuring Swarovski crystals, ostrich feathers and lace appliques, all made in India using GOTS-approved fiber.
3. How do I wash pashmina scarves?
Hand wash your pashmina scarf in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent or baby shampoo. Do not wring. Press gently, roll in a towel to remove excess water, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. For embellished styles, dry cleaning is recommended.
4. How do I clean pashmina scarves?
For plain pashmina scarves, gentle hand washing in cool water is the best approach. For scarves with hand embroidery, Swarovski crystals, feathers or lace, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the embellishments. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth works well for minor marks.
5. How do I wear pashmina scarves?
Pashmina scarves are extremely versatile. Drape one loosely over your shoulders for an evening look, knot it at the neck for a daytime outfit, or wrap it fully as a light travel layer. The fabric is compact enough to fold into a carry-on and elegant enough for formal occasions.
6. Are pashmina scarves warm enough for winter?
Yes. Despite being remarkably lightweight, pure pashmina is highly insulating due to the natural hollow structure of the fiber. It traps warmth effectively while remaining breathable, making it comfortable across seasons rather than strictly a winter accessory.
7. What makes Maneesha Ruia pashmina scarves and wraps different?

The embellished styles are finished entirely by hand, with every crystal set, every feather placed and every sequin stitched individually.

What Are Pashmina Scarves?

Pashmina is a type of fine cashmere wool, and pashmina scarves are lightweight, supremely soft wraps woven from this fiber. The name comes from the Persian word 'pashm', meaning wool. True pashmina is made entirely from the inner fleece of the Changthangi goat, combed by hand during the spring molting season and never sheared. The result is a fiber of exceptional fineness and warmth, harvested in limited quantities each year. A genuine pashmina scarf is not simply a soft wrap; it is a product of geography, craft and time.

Why Our Pashmina Scarves and Wraps Are Different

Every pashmina scarf in this collection is made using traditional Kashmiri handlooms, a craft passed down through generations of artisan families. We source only GOTS-approved fiber, and our superfine grade plain scarves represent the lightest, softest expression of the material. The natural characteristics of hand-combed pashmina, such as subtle texture shifts and occasional slubs, are not imperfections. They are the proof of handwork, and what distinguishes a genuine pashmina scarf from a machine-made copy. No two pieces are identical. Our scarves and wraps pashmina collection spans from understated plains to intricately embellished pieces, each one a reflection of the craft behind it.

The Collection

Our Pure Pashmina range spans from the understated to the spectacular. The superfine plain pashmina scarves offer the essence of the fiber in its purest form: fluid, weightless, warm in cold air and breathable in mild weather. For those who want something more, the embellished styles are where Maneesha Ruia's design vision fully unfolds. Hand embroidery, Swarovski crystals, ostrich feathers, and sequins, each element set and stitched by hand. These pashmina scarves and wraps are not accessories. They are wearable crafts.

How to Wear Pashmina Scarves

Knowing how to wear pashmina scarves well is simply a matter of occasion. Draped loosely over the shoulders, a pashmina scarf elevates an evening look. Knotted at the neck, it completes a polished daytime outfit. Wrapped fully around the body, it works as a lightweight travel layer. Fold it in thirds and it sits flat in a carry-on: compact, crease-resistant and ready to wear an hour after landing. A pure pashmina scarf pairs equally well with a silk blouse, a cashmere sweater or an evening gown.
