Bridesmaid Pashmina

It has come to our notice that a number of merchants are selling fake pashminas, claiming these to be genuine. These fake pashminas are made from synthetic fibers like acrylic, and viscose. These are light and soft too but lack the gentle touch and feel of genuine pashminas as well as their unmatched warmth. Obviously, these fake pashminas are being sold at cheaper rates than that of genuine pashminas. There are two very simple quality checks which you can undertake without any hassle. Dampen our pashmina slightly and smell it. The smell will be a little like that of a wet animal. It won't be all that unpleasant. In case of a fake pashmina, the smell of the damp portion will be that of an ordinary cloth. The second test can be undertaken by burning a few millimeters of the loose end of one of the tassels or the wrap, if it is without tassels. The smell of the burnt portion will be like that of hair burning. The ash will be in the form of a uniform powder and it will come off easily. In case of fake pashmina, having synthetic in it, the smell will be that of a chemical. The ash of the burnt portion, in case of a fake pashmina, will not come off easily and, in stead, it will form small beads.
