Owning a Pashmina is like owning a piece of heritage — delicate, timeless, and meant to be cherished for generations. While this luxurious fabric keeps you warm in the winter, it also requires special care in summer and monsoon months when humidity, moths, and improper storage can damage its beauty.
At Shaza, we believe that caring for your Pashmina is as important as wearing it. Here’s a guide to keep your treasured shawls and stoles safe all year long.
Summer Care for Pashmina
During hot months, your Pashmina may not be in frequent use. Proper storage ensures it stays fresh and damage-free.
- Clean before storing — Always dry-clean your Pashmina before packing it away to remove any dust, perfume, or oil traces that may attract moths.
- Fold gently, avoid hanging — Hanging may stretch the delicate handloom weave. Always fold and store flat.
- Use breathable storage — Wrap your Pashmina in muslin cloth or cotton bags. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture.
- Keep away from sunlight — Direct sunlight fades the natural colors of Pashmina. Store in a cool, dark place.
Monsoon Care for Pashmina
High humidity in monsoons poses a bigger risk for Pashmina, as moisture may weaken fibers and cause mildew.
- Air occasionally — Take out your Pashmina once in a while to let it breathe.
- Avoid damp spaces — Store in a dry place with moisture absorbers like silica gel or neem leaves.
- Moth protection — Place natural repellents like cedar balls or lavender sachets inside your wardrobe instead of naphthalene, which has a strong odor.
- Dry immediately if damp — If your shawl ever feels moist, spread it flat on a clean cotton cloth indoors until completely dry. Never expose it to harsh sun or dryers.
Extra Tips for Long-Lasting Pashmina
- Avoid frequent washing — always prefer professional dry cleaning.
- Rotate storage positions to prevent crease marks.
- Handle with clean, dry hands to protect the fibers.
- If you own heirloom pieces, consider re-design or repair services to keep them usable for generations.
