What does chashm-e-bulbul mean?

'The eye of the bulbul' — Kashmir's name for its honeycomb weave of small diamond cells, said to resemble the songbird's eye. It is a weave, not a fibre; here it is worked in extra fine wool.

Is this shawl pashmina?

No — 100% extra fine wool, labelled WOOL. The same weave appears on our pure pashmina pieces at pure pashmina prices; this brings the texture to a ₹2,499 ticket honestly.

Does the textured weave wear well?

Yes — the honeycomb structure is woven-in and resilient. Wash gently and dry flat, and the loft lasts for years.
