Josephine Pashmina Shawl in Red
Softer than cashmere, pashmina wool is light yet warm and delightfully soft on the skin. Our Josephine Pashmina Shawl is a must have for cool nights year round. We've blended the perfect opulent red that gives a pop of rich color to elevate any outfit. It was in the late 18th century that Napoleon, ensconced in Egypt with his army, came across a light and warm fabric in the desert. Little did he know that the cloth he held was a pashmina shawl, which had traveled all the way from Kashmir in the hands of a merchant. Immediately, he sent it to his wife, Empress Josephine, who sparked a craze for pashmina shawls throughout Europe. • 80% wool pashmina, 20% other fibers• 42" width x 80” length • Yarn dyed• Short side with fringe• Dry clean• Made in India
