Quality Embroidered Pashmina

[helena]

I have a friend getting married in february (in a low key non conventional wedding) and she wants a navy blue quality wrap or pashmina with a little bit of embroidery in the same colour or another muted colour. ANy ideas of any sites/shops when I could direct her to have a look?

Help much appreciated!!!!

Send her to Pakistan on her honeymoon .

Seriously, I would think that London would be a good destination, having a large Indian and Pakistani community. The best wraps will come from those countries I would think. My friend brought this amazing huge hand-embroidered rug when he went to Pakistan - I can only imagine how much it would cost here .

yes but she needs s/th for her wedding...not the honeymoon. she is in edinburgh not London.

Is there not an area with a good asian community...shops etc, they've usually around where the temples/mosques are: somewhere in edinburgh?...Look in some of the sari/asian clothing shops they often have stuff along those lines...Could she not always buy a navy pashmina then take it to someone to get some detailing put on it?...that way it would be unique to her too. An alterations/dressmaking shop or something...

in my neighborhood

.....seriously though, I'll keep my eyes open in Little India...

...or you could just buy the cheap ones on the street and have it embroidered by a pro.

Glasgow might be a better option to find one than Edinburgh - try the south side for a plethora of Indian shops.

Probably a better bet though is www.mypashmina.co.uk and they embroider whatever you like onto the shawl! Costs up to £175 and can take 6 weeks. (the pic isn't exactly in "Muted shades" like you asked for, but seeing as they do whatever you request....)

Hand embroiderd pashmina I have 18 unique nice ones

Hi
Is it just coincidence. I was just about to research hand embroidered pashminas prices online, when I saw your post. An Italian friend of mine with a very good eye brought, some back from Kashmir recently
