A real Pashmina shawl feels like almost nothing in your hands, yet warms you the moment it touches your shoulders. That is what sets a genuine handwoven piece apart from the many products that only borrow the name. At Taroob, every Pashmina shawl for women and men is made by skilled artisans in Kashmir, using techniques passed down for centuries. For lighter everyday layers, our stoles and scarves for women and stoles and scarves for men pair beautifully with these heirloom pieces.
Where does the fibre come from?
Every piece starts with Pashm, the ultra-fine undercoat of the Changthangi goat from the high Changthang plateau in Ladakh. The fibre measures just 12 to 16 microns, about five times thinner than a human hair. That fineness is what gives it such softness, a featherlight feel, and surprising warmth. No synthetic or blended fabric matches it, which is why buyers keep coming back to authentic Kashmiri Pashmina.
What makes a Taroob Pashmina shawl different?
Many sellers use the word Pashmina loosely. At Taroob, it is a verifiable fact of how each piece is made.
- The Pashm is hand cleaned and spun on a traditional wooden spindle called a Yinder, never by machine
- The yarn is woven by hand on wooden handlooms
- Any embroidery, from Sozni needlework to Tilla metallic thread and Kalamkari hand painting, is done by hand over days or weeks
- Each shawl is finished and packed in Taroob's signature gift box, ready to wear or gift

Pashmina shawl for men
Men have worn Pashmina for centuries, from kings and poets to anyone who values quiet quality over loud fashion. Taroob's shawls for men come in deep, refined tones and classic embroidery that suit both ethnic and Western formal wear.
How to style your Pashmina?
The fabric falls into place easily, so styling is simple.
- Classic drape: across both shoulders with the ends falling to the front, over a saree, gown, or kurta set
- One shoulder throw: folded lengthwise over one shoulder, a favourite for men
- Wrapped layer: around the torso like a blanket scarf, ideal for flights and hill stations
- Belted: cinched at the waist for a structured, cape-like shape
Why Pashmina makes the perfect gift?
It is luxurious without being flashy, personal, and used for years rather than stored away. Every Taroob Pashmina arrives in premium packaging, ready to gift. For weddings, milestones, or company gifts, our gift shop and corporate gifting make it easy.
Caring for your Pashmina shawl
Looked after well, a Pashmina lasts decades and grows softer with age.
- Always dry clean rather than washing at home
- Store folded in a cool, dry place, ideally with a cedar block to keep moths away
- Avoid hanging for long periods, as the weight can stretch the fibres
- Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the colour
