Few fashion accessories are able to transform an outfit quite like Kashmir silk scarves and for well over a century, fashion trendsetters have relied on this timeless piece of fashion must-haves. Kashmir silk scarves are essentially a woman’s way to achieve an elegant and luxurious look without much effort. Most icons of fashion have used the Kashmir silk scarf to define their own unique sense of style, grace and charm.
There are few places you’ll see the Kashmir silk scarf on display like around the necks (or heads of) of Hollywood celebrities. In fact, it’s the efforts of early trend setters like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren which has etched the Kashmir silk scarf firmly into the fashion consciousness of the modern and trendy woman.

But Kashmir silk scarves are not all about celebrity appeal and vicarious living. In addition to these built-in qualities Kashmir silk scarves have remained highly functional. You can see trendy fashionistas wearing silk scarves virtually in any setting. Women who have an appreciation for timeless fashion will wear a Kashmir silk scarf on occasion that a ‘statement’ needs to be made. It’s not uncommon to see a woman doing her food shopping in upscale cities like London and New York with a Kashmir silk scarf neatly wrapped around her neck. A glance at the fashionistas streaming out of a Broadway theatre in New York will yield a potpourri of Kashmir silk scarves—all radiating the charm and elegance of their wearer.
What makes Kashmir silk scarves so different?
Any discerning woman who enjoys timeless fashion and history will tell you that not all silk scarves are created equal. Today with mass-production being what it is, you have to take a really careful approach when selecting and buying silk scarves. A wrong choice will almost always lead to fading colors, frayed ends and poor embroidery.
Kashmir silk scarves sets themselves apart by offering unmatched quality in all these areas. Scarves made in Kashmir are given the same expert attention that the region has produced for more than 300 years. This strong culture developed at time when Shawls were the fashion accessory of European royalty. As such each scarf that is made in Kashmir is made painstakingly by hand, dyed delicately by hand and put to the dry under nature’s bountiful giver of life—the sun.

Enduring appeal and celebrity icons
Today Kashmir silk scarves are no less popular than they were back in the heydays of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. A new generation of celebrities and socialites have picked up the mantle of high-fashion and the discerning woman can follow the lead of a bevy of Hollywood trendsetters. Women like Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba and others seem to have made Kashmir silk scarves a permanent part of their dress code and fashion identity.
These icons have also done justice to the functionality and flexibility of Kashmir silk scarves and Jessica Alba for one has been snapped hundreds of times wearing a silk scarf whilst out with her children or engaging in other leisurely activities.
