A brocade silk shawl is considered to
be the most luxurious type of stole in the
fashion world. Due to its intricate embroidery,
Brocade silk wraps make such a unique impression that it
becomes the focal point of your whole wardrobe.
Hence, since there is a wide array of materials
to choose from, you just have to pick whatever
suits your lifestyle and fashion sense. It would
be best to actually try all these kinds so you
will get a feel of what suits you best. A shawl
is one accessory that should be part of your
wardrobe. Unlike many synthetic fibers, silk does
not slip. Silk is mostly preferred in the fashion
industry due to its natural shine, elegance, soft
luster, strength and good moisture retaining
capacity. Since silk has good absorbency, the
wearer feels comfortable wearing it even during
warm weather. Also, silk provides warmth to the
skin during cold weathers as it does not allow
heat to escape from the body as it has a low
thermal conductance capacity.
Silk Shawls are worn on very formal
occasions, particularly in the evenings. In
India, these scarf are popular with both men and
women. Shawls have acquired some kind of
celebrity status in India. Artists and actors
would generally attend parties, wearing elegant
silk kurta and churidar, with silk shawls hanging
from their shoulders. Often eminent politicians
and ministers would gift Shawls to each
other not only to show respect, but also to
communicate that they are allies.
"The
merchandise I received was well packaged and
it arrived at my door step all the way from
India in less time than a few of the products
that were shipped to me from the US. The silk
shawl was beautiful and my wife who is Indian
loved it very much. Small gesture from them
but greatly appreciated in these times when
simple things get so badly screwed up."
"This is the
most beautiful shawl ever. The wool is so
soft and the colors and antique paisley
pattern are exquisite. I can't believe how
beautiful it is. This is the second shawl I
have ordered from ShalinIndia. Both are
beautiful. My only wish is that the main
color could be listed in the description.
From the photo I expected deep blue. It was
black."
"The shawl is
beautiful. And Malini's assistance was very
kind and helpful. However, I was expecting
the shawl to be ivory in color. Somehow, in
spite of our several e-mails, this was not
conveyed, and the description of the shawl
(particularly the color) in Amazon was not
clear enough. Hopefully, next time our
communication will be clearer. Thank you."
"An absolutely
beautiful shawl. I have seen nothing like it
anywhere. I was lucky to find it on Amazon."
"As always,
excellent shawls! Thanks! FAST!!!!"
"Beautiful
design on the shawl, and really fast
shipping!"
"beautiful
shawl, fast shipping"
This is the
BEST item I have ever purchased from Amazon!
The service was super fast, the quality of
the quilt was awesome and I am thrilled with
how it looks and feels on my bed. I emailed
the company and thanked them and within 24
hours they wrote the nicest letter back. I
highly recommend this company to anyone
looking for unique, handmade, quality stuff!
Thanks Shalin!!!!
