What lovely customers we have !

Thanks to "MP" who sent this today!  We love receiving praise !


"Hi,


I should start by telling you that I rarely write reviews good or bad, but I have just been so impressed by your company and your products I felt I had to tell you.


I picked up my pashminas from my local sorting office today (I missed the courier on Friday) I purchased the rio red with Swarovski crystals and the jacquard white. Opened the package up when I got home, they are absolutely stunning, so, so, so, so, so, BEAUTIFUL!!! I cannot wait to wear them :-)


The Entire online buying experience with your co was fantastic, from the easy to navigate website, prompt order confirmation and despatch, the email from you customer service dept re-clarifying how the charge would appear on my statement, everything... First class!


This may have been my first purchase from Mypashmina, but I can guarantee it most definitely will not be my last!! :-)


Thanks and kind regards,
MP

Knitwear Is Dead, Long Live Knitwear!

Don't forget, with the imminent arrival of our new Knitwear ranges (expected in the next couple of months) there shall be one or two of our current styles slipping out of favour and fading into history. And if that isn't dramatic enough to tempt you, how about the fact that almost all of our current knitwear offerings are heavily discounted and with the codeword yummy you can get a further 10% off.
This polo for example is reduced to £54 from £69, and you can get a further £5.40 off with the discount code. Priced to move I think is the expression!

All the best

Hello,

Welcome to our New Year Mypashmina sale. It runs from 29/12/2011 to 06/01/2012 (next Friday).

We have two discount codes (write them down) - you will need to enter them in the promotional codes box at the checkout to get your discount. They apply to every single product on www.mypashmina.co.uk including the clearance pages.

201220 - This code will give you 20% off your order ... but ... it will only work if you have at least £120 worth of goods in your basket

201212 - This code will give you 12% off your order ... it will work so long as you have at least £20 worth of goods in your basket .. which is 95% of our products , only some of the Varanasi silk scarves are less than £20.

Much of our cashmere knitwear is already reduced to make room for our new K-series cashmere knitwear due in about 6 weeks. Take this opportunity, as our next offer will probably be April (why April?).

Thanks for looking at our cashmere products and please read some of the testimonials ... We are proud that we have made so many customers happy over the years.

Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas




...and a Happy New Year!

We hope you all have had a great 2011, and here's looking forward to an even better 2012!

Many thanks to everyone who has supported us this year, by buying our pashminas or by sending kind messages, all very much appreciated.

2012 is shaping up to be a big year as in the early Spring we shall receive the first boxes of our new knitwear ranges. We have been looking forward to this for a long time now so it is great to feel the date getting closer. Keep your eyes on the site for more info.

My own personal favourite item of this year has been the new style of Angelweave pashminas. These look and feel softer than ever, and the new colours really add to that feeling of luxury. If you are looking for a colour we don't stock, we can even make it for you!



Once again, we hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and see you back here in 2012!

All the best

Welcome to winter!


The temperature here in Sweden has really dropped over the last few days, it was 4 degrees when I walked to the bus stop this morning....bbbrrrrrrr!!! What a lovely morning though, crisp and cold with the smell of wood smoke in the air. Inevitably my thoughts turned to dark nights, frosty mornings, snow and of course Christmas!

I'm not one to advocate early advertising for Christmas in general but I've just been reminded by Stuart that the last date to order custom made items in time for Christmas is the 16th November.

So why not light the fire, sit down with a nice cup of hot chocolate or glass of mulled wine and get into the festive spirit with Mypashmina! We have gifts to suit all budgets, new stock arriving including gorgeous new colours of our classic Ring Shawl, and beautiful new additions to our Angelweave range. On top of all this we will be adding a mass of clearance items to the site - keep checking in and you may get a real bargain!

Thankyou - Mypashmina Customers

I have just added up the donations to NamasteBanepa from Mypashmina customers for the last year.

The total was £609.35. Thank you very much on behalf of the children helped by Namaste Banepa.

This years total is about one-third of the previous year. This quite clearly shows the impact a recession has on charitable giving. It's unfortunate , but understandable.

In the year we received 3 donations of £50 , so as promised have added £150 to the total.

The total of £759 is enough to sponsor about 15 children through school for a year , so it will make a real difference to those peoples lives.

The person running Namaste Banepa is Sudarson Karki ( wavetex@wlink.com.np ) . If you are in Kathmandu, he would be happy to hear from you. www.namastebanepa.com

Climate Change

About 18 months ago, we were in Kathmandu, shouting at some beaurocrat about how to get permission to import solar panels (the way to get permission, is to import some and have them tested to prove they are appropriate - despit the obvious chicken and egg scenario here - it was also not yet possible to have them tested because the fees and methods for this hadnt been agreed - since 3 years!).

We had done some sums and calculated that assuming the mains electricity (mainly hydro) continued to fail, and assuming we had to use a diesil (at record high fuel prices) generator every day, and also assuming minimum maintenance, then we would recoup the cost of the solar panels in about 8 years.

It was not possible due to the beaurocracy, and soon after the cheap mains electricity came back online.

In these times where the electricity was only available for a few hours a day, the relatively rich went and bought deisil generators. The poor made do in the dark. This meant the rich could make progress and the poor fell further behind.

This brings me to the Copenhagen summit. I'm glad that the original aims failed for a number of reasons.

Firstly , to deny the poor in the world cheap electricity will keep them poor. Family sizes will only start to shrink in poor countries once people reach a certain level of wealth and children become a financial burden rather than a financial asset. This has happened throughout the world where countries have developed. If the poor countries are allowed to develop at full speed then the world population will stop growing in the forseeable future.

Secondly, I have been doing a lot of reading, and it seems that the supposed consensus about the effect of man made CO2 does not exist. It was a case of a policy looking for evidence - and a policy backd by a lot of money. It seems that a very small number of scientists have had an unbalanced level of influence and have used unsavoury tactics to supress peer review of their findings. Here is an interesting article on this subject htttp://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fpcomment/archive/2009/12/18/terence-corcoran-a-2-000-page-epic-of-science-and-skepticism-part-1.aspx . There seems to be stronger evidence that global warming (the planet has not warmed since 1998) , is a result of how the sun affects cosmicrays which interact with the water vapor in the atmosphere to cause clouds (this is affected by CFC's - so good that they are banned), Here is a good summary http://joannenova.com.au/globalwarming/skeptics-handbook-ii/the_skeptics_handbook_II-mq-v1.3.pdf

So, while i think the hunt for cheaper, cleaner forms of power is very desireable ... not at the expense of the poor in the world, and not at the expense of simple freedoms. The incredible aims of the Copenhagen summit were based on policy led science rather than impartial disinterested science informing policy.

here's some other websites, where people are examining the work of the few scientists at the core of this debate.

http://wattsupwiththat.com/
http://www.climateaudit.org
and here's the website set up by the scientists who inform the International Panel on Climate Change - http://www.realclimate.org

Do some reading

ps... probably the last time i use the Mypashmina blog for a rant :) I'll find somewhere else to do it.

New items on Mypashmina.co.uk

We have 40 more pure cashmere crochet hand knitted scarves...
We hope you like them.. each one is completely unique because the colours were chosen by the people that made them.Here are a few pictures to give you the idea...




The price for each unique piece - just £79.50

We also have redsigned the unisex pashmina. It is 3ply, so slightly thicker than a standard one. It is also herringbone weave with an open edge (rather than tassles), and 60x190cm. Pure cashmere , or course.
We have 10 colours in stock. The price is £66.10.



...also we had a lesson from a professional photographer (at vast expense!), who helped us set up our flashes for our photography studio a bit better... and also how to calibrate the screen so the colours are perfect. This should minimise the problem caused by the wide range of settings on computer screens.

A little moan about couriers

We had a bit of a panic on Thursday, when a box turned up, but 180 items were missing.

DHL had broken the box, and kindly repackaged it.. but lost the other boxes.

It turns out that one box went to Southamption, one to Leeds, and the repackaged one was not tracked at all. (we are near Grantham in Nottinghamshire).

Everything turned up in the end... but on Tuesday 17th.. meaning a delay of 5 days to many of our lovely customers.

Sorry for the delays.. i must have made about 30 phone calls to DHL to get this sorted, and it was in the end!

New - Pure Silk Scarves in 22 colours



We have more than 20 colours of our wonderful new silk scarves.

They are made from 210 quality silk, which is a finer grade of silk than our previous silk scarves.

It means that they are more floaty, less creasable and they feel wonderfully soft and silky.

They are 60x190cm, which we think is a very versitile size.

The price is just £28.50
