“Luxury is in each detail.” — Hubert de Givenchy

Let me be honest—my first real brush with luxury wasn’t a designer bag or a spa day in the hills. It was when I wrapped myself in a pure Pashmina shawl at my sister’s winter wedding.

It was deep maroon with hand-embroidered paisleys, soft as a whisper, and warmer than the fireplace. People noticed. I got compliments. And I… I felt something. Not just warm, but regal.

That’s the magic of a truly luxurious shawl—it becomes part of your story.

Fast forward to today, and we’re seeing a beautiful renaissance of women shawls that mix the charm of tradition with bold, modern energy.

Whether it's styling them with structured blazers, draping over a silk dress, or simply pairing with denim—Pashmina shawls are having a moment on and off the runways. And rightly so.

Below are 7 breathtaking pieces from Taroob’s Pashmina Collection that deserve a front-row seat in your wardrobe—and your life. Every piece here is a story. A craft. An emotion.

1. Heirloom Kalamkari Pichwai Ras Leela Pure Pashmina Shawl

I first saw this piece on a mannequin on the opening of their flagship store in Amritsar. Honestly, it stole the room. Crafted from pure pashmina, the hand-painted Kalamkari work brings the mythic Ras Leela scene to life.

The art isn’t just beautiful—it’s conversational. Pair it with a minimalist outfit and let the shawl do the talking. This is exactly how heritage becomes wearable art.

Why it stands out:

Traditional Pichwai-inspired Kalamkari on Pashmina

Detailed narrative embroidery technique

Statement-maker for cultural soirées and formal nights

2. Heirloom Kalamkari Ram Darbar Pure Pashmina Shawl

There’s something incredibly grounding about wearing mythology, especially when it's done like this. This shawl depicts the iconic Ram Darbar, hand-painted in Kalamkari on luxurious pashmina.

You can easily wear this during a Diwali get-together, official soirées, and even date nights. I’m sure your date wouldn’t stop himself from asking, “Where did you get that?”

Why it’s worth collecting:

Rooted in narrative heritage

Rich colour palette that complements Indian and western wear

A collector’s heirloom piece, no exaggeration

3. Heirloom Hand Embroidered Resham and Zari Shawl

📌 Shop the Look

Black never fails. But this black? With fine gold zari and resham paisleys—it hits differently. I wore this to a winter wedding in Jaipur. The compliments started at check-in and didn't stop until I left.

What makes it special is how it blends traditional Kashmiri motifs with a very modern silhouette. Think old-world craftsmanship meets high-fashion drama.

Texture & detail:

Dense paisley embroidery

Gold zari shimmer balanced with rich resham tones

A timeless black base that pairs with everything

4. Pure Pashmina Resham Shawl

If you love soft pastels and romantic detailing, this is your shawl. Cornilk yellow is such an underrated base, and the pop of bright pink floral embroidery (complete with bird motifs!) adds a whimsical edge.

You can easily choose to wear this for brunch. Pair it with wide-leg trousers and a tucked-in blouse. So easy. So chic.

Why it wins hearts:

Nature-inspired bird & bloom motifs

Lightweight, buttery-soft pashmina

A perfect fusion of feminine and bold

5. Pure Pashmina Resham Shawl (Floral Jaal on Beige)

This one can easily become your go-to when you need a touch of elegance without trying too hard.

The intricate floral jaal work in cool midnight and sky blues feels calming, almost meditative. Drape it over a sari and a trench coat, this shawl will not disappoint you. It adapts effortlessly.

Ideal for:

Corporate evenings or family gatherings

Those who love subtle statements

Fans of earthy, minimal luxury

6. Heirloom Mughal Darbar Pure Pashmina Tilla and Resham Shawl

📌 Shop the Look

Let’s just say: if the Mughals had Instagram, this would go viral. This multicolour Mughal Darbar scene on rich black pashmina is the definition of “maximal in the best way.”

I saw someone wear something similar at an international airport and yes, she was that woman everyone couldn’t stop staring at. So, I know, this would do exactly the same for you.

Cultural couture alert:

Complex darbar scene in vivid embroidery

Ideal for grand events and gallery showings

Pairs surprisingly well with solid western pieces too!

And finally, if you’re looking for that iconic evening piece, this is it. The black-gold combination, the intricate tilla jaal, and the sheer weight of elegance it carries is hard to match.

Drape it over a satin gown and feel like Madhubala from old Bollywood glamour. You will love how exquisite this shawl is, but only when you drape it around your shoulders.

Why it’s iconic:

Classic yet contemporary

Metallic threads that glow under evening lights

Made to be worn, remembered, and passed down

Wrapping It Up

Owning a Pashmina shawl is not just a style choice—it’s a legacy move. It’s that rare purchase where you know it’ll look good now, better with time, and best when your daughter “borrows” it one day.

If you're looking to invest in women shawls that feel luxurious but still let you be you—bold, soft, artistic, edgy—these are where your search ends.
