Cashmere Hats from Mypashmina.co.uk


 Womens Cashmere Hats UK

Womens Cashmere Hats UK

Yes, we have 32 different cashmere hats in stock at the moment. Although most of our customers are women. I am male and I constantly wear one of the reversible hats. As do my wife and kids. I like it so much. You can choose which colour to show, and they are so soft and light and warm.

FREE SHIPPING. So the price you see is the total price that you pay.

Cashmere Beanie Hat

I just wanted to check the definition of a Cashmere Beanie Hat. So this is from Wikipedia. "In the United States, a beanie is a head-hugging brimless cap, with or without a visor, made from triangular panels of material joined by a button at the crown and seamed together around the sides. Commonly made of cloth or felt material, beanies may also be made from leather or silk." Our Beanie Hats are made from cashmere.

 Cashmere Beanie Hats

Cashmere Bobble Hat Womens

We don't currently have any cashmere bobble hat womens . That does seem a strange way to phrase it. We have plenty of cashmere hats, but none of them have bobbles on. I think it is a very rare thing. You would need at least 20 grams of cashmere just for the bobble, and I am not sure if people would be willing to pay the extra. Let me know..

Maybe we could make the bobble out of a cheaper material such as wool, but then most of the cashmere hat would be very soft and the bobble would be itchy.

Cashmere Gloves

 Cashmere Gloves from Mypashmina.co.uk
Cashmere Gloves are almost an essential partner to a cashmere hat. I especially like out finger on/off cashmere gloves. They are so soft and light and you can easily reveal your fingers to flick about on your phone.

We have about 7 colours of the cashmere on/off gloves in stock, and we also have some similar styles.

You can find cashmere wristwarmers, which have a cable knit design. I prefer the cashmere gloves, because it is my fingers that get the coldest.

One more benefit of cashmere gloves is how quickly they dry out if they get wet. It is amazing. If you compare it to wool gloves or other gloves you would be very surprised.

Cashmere Hat Grey

We have this grey cashmere hat in stock at the moment. It is a pure cashmere hat. It is made from 28 count, 4ply yarn with a cable-knit design. 

It is soft and light and warm and you will forget you are wearing it. I am wearing one of the reversible cashmere hats right now, and I have even got in the shower with one on my head before because I forgot it was there.

The price is just £30. Mypashmina offers much better deals than anyone else. This is mainly because of the lack of middle men. It's just us and our cashmere factory.


Cashmere Slouch Beanie

I wasn't sure what this was. I thought a cashmere slouch beanie might be simply an oversize cashmere hat, so I looked it up. I was right. But it seems that if you put the word 'slouch' next to the word 'cashmere', then that will be €120 please, thank you very much!

Cashmere Slouch Beanie

Our cashmere hats start at £30 and our double layer reversible cashmere hats are just £39.60

€192 !! wow farfetched . 

Navy Cashmere Hat

That Navy slouch Beanie might be €192 , but  Mypashmina.co.uk has cashmere hats  from just £30. They are 100% cashmere, and it is top quality cashmere as well. We regularly send it to SGS Labs to have it tested, and we have also sent cashmere yarn from competitors for testing in the past. 

I just noticed that we do not have a Navy Cashmere Hat in stock. It will be in a few weeks.

Cashmere Scarf

If you are planning to buy a cashmere scarf , then I would recommend these thick woven cashmere scarves . 

 Cashmere Scarves
Individually photographed because each one is unique and we would like you to know exactly what you are getting. These are very thick and therefore very warm.  They look smart, but they do not look boring. If you want a cashmere scarf that might last you 20 years, then I would recommend these. £100 is quite a lot of money for a scarf, but I can wander around in winter with a t-shirt and one of these scarves on an I don't feel the need for a coat. Not that I am wandering around. Sounds a bit mad.

1. They look great. Look at the picture of the bride and bridesmaids all with matching pashminas. It looks amazing.

3. Pashminas make useful and well appreciated gifts. If your bridesmaids are wearing matching pashminas, then it is something they will treasure for a long time after the event. Cashmere mixed with silk makes the most luxurious fabric.

Lots of parents of people getting married buy a special pashmina for the big day, its just a beautiful and handy accessory, especially if the British weather changes to cold!

Famous People Who Wear Pashminas

I keep seeing pictures of Celebrities, Royals and politicians wearing pashminas.

We always wonder if they are ours. We have delivered to Downing Street and Buckingham Palace before, but it could be for anyone who works at these addresses.

Pashminas from Mypashmina.co.uk

It's a pashmina shawl thing

They're a celebrity favourite, but will pashminas be a hit on the internet?
At a certain type of fashion or media gathering, a pashmina - a super-soft shawl made from goat cashmere blended with silk - has graced almost every pair of female shoulders in 2019. "Practically everybody has at least one," says Paul King, owner of Mypashmina and a retailer of pashminas in the UK.
Mypashmina began stocking them 16 years ago in 2003. Kate Moss and Jade Jagger wear pashminas all the time, Nicole Kidman bought 60 at once and the fashion assistants at Vogue House have such an insatiable lust for them that Mypashmina.co.uk , pashmina supplier par excellence, was nicknamed The Pashmina man on account of his almost daily deliveries.
Believe it or not, this is not the start of the phenomenon. While there are no doubt hundreds of women who have never heard of them and, frankly, couldn't care less, pashminas are about to take the high street by storm. This spring, Marks & Spencer introduced a small number into a few key stores "to test the market". They sold out straight away. From autumn, M&S will sell pashminas in major stores nationwide for just £99 - double the typical price at Mypashmina. Debenhams has two ranges in the pipeline. The first, designed by Philip Treacy, will be in stores from the end of July in pink, silver, lavender and pale blue, for only £100; the second arrives in September.
The key to the pashmina phenomenon, according to Paul, is "the sheer deliciousness of them. Just like we love to eat chocolate because it tastes good, women love to wear pashminas because they feel fantastic." But it's not just the way the cashmere and silk feels, it's the exclusive aura it confers. "They are very tactile," says Caroline of M&S, "but also very visible. They smack of sophistication."
The pashmina craze has undeniably Sloaney origins (one wearer told me the popularity of cyclamen pink was due to the fact that it "looks lovely with blonde hair") but their Eastern ethnicity prevents them looking too King's Road. These days, they are said to be almost as popular with readers of this newspaper as with those of Tatler.
There are practical reasons for the success of the pashmina: few women have an evening coat any more and the pashmina solves the problem of what to wear over a smart dress on cool evenings at summer parties and weddings. It is not just for eveningwear, though: Shani Fry, accessories head buyer for Debenhams, expects customers will also be wearing pashminas "to tone down a tailored suit".
It's not just whether you've got a pashmina, of course, but how you wear it. Shawl-like is fine with a slinky dress but over daytime clothes it can make you look like an eastern European granny on her way to the vegetable market. The done thing by day is to wear your pashmina as a scarf, folded in half lengthways with the fringed ends looped through in precisely the method intimidating Parisian schoolgirls used to make their scarves look dauntingly stylish when I was on the French exchange. Apparently there's "a little twisty motion" you do before you fold it in half that "makes all the difference", one devotee told me.
Even on the hottest days, some can't bear to be separated from their pashminas. On a summer afternoon in Westbourne Grove, a friend spotted two girls wearing their pashminas as sarongs. (But that's west London for you: I prefer the girl I saw in a pub in Islington wearing an Arsenal wall-hanging as a sarong.)

Pashmina mania

...meanwhile, is spreading from the core group of affluent thirtysomethings. Welstead reports that girls are being bought them for their 18th birthday; jewel colours and powder blue (anointed this season's pashmina shade by Vogue) are popular with younger women, while older customers love beige and cream. For next season, Welstead reckons his pashminas shaded from light to dark grey will do well, while Lewin expects to sell lots of winter white.

The pashmina market

...is expanding in all directions. Sophia Swire sells extra-soft pashminas for babies at a very grown-up £399, while Gieves, the new diffusion range from Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes, features charcoal grey pashminas for men at £350. And it's not just a London thing: pashminas are doing brisk business at Barney's in New York.
The pashmina looks set to take the high street by storm. It has been called the 90s equivalent of the 80s Hermès scarf, but Sam Robinson, owner of The Cross in west London, which sells Welstead's pashminas, likens it to the Filofax: "A luxury item but ever so practical. You can't cope without one!" Of course not.

Polly Briggs (verified owner) – 25th January 2018
My second pashmina from this company and as with my first, I absolutely LOVE it. Beautiful quality, drapes wonderfully and the colour is just as I hoped. I’m really pleased with the swatch book (such a great idea!) which I’m going to keep… I can see I’ll want to buy more from Mypashmina in the future. This time my pashmina was bespoke (with a hemmed finish) and if I have a small reservation (but I’m still giving 5 stars) it’s that the stitching is slightly off true at the beginning and end of the hems. This is intended more as constructive criticism than a complaint; it is a LOVELY pashmina. Thank you!


Paul King – 25th January 2018
Hello. Thanks so much for your comment. I will pass along the comment about the start of the stitching to the guys in Kathmandu. Every little thing like this helps us get closer to our aim, so I really appreciate it. Thanks for all the warmth in your message too.. motivational 🙂

Bought 2 pashminas for the first time from this company. One regular stock which arrived very quickly, one colour to order which took slightly longer. Both are great quality and a lovely large size. I ordered the swatch book before choosing colours which is a great idea. I will be ordering again.

I have bought several pashmina stoles over the years, as well as cashmere scarves and jumpers. Always great service, always beautiful products, the pashminas particularly. I wear mine so machine the winter, and have one which I wear “everyday” as well as others which I wear as the fancy takes me. LOVE My Pashmina.

Hello,
everything is fine: size, feel, delivery speed, except for the colour, as it does not exactly match the image. I think I would need the swatchbook the next time, but I guess lending it to me as a customer in Germany would be a bit complicated, or should I buy it? Fantastic customer service!

Michaela (verified owner) – 22nd October 2017
I have ordered many of these scarfs in the last 5 or more years. The quality is excellent. And even though delivery took much longer than usual it was well worth waiting for. I recommmend buying a swatchbook before choosing the colour.

Marina Simonova – 7th August 2018
This is my third bespoke pashmina from this company, but first classic one. I’ve ordered biggest size in clematis blue. It’s absolutely gorgeous,the softness, lightness, subtle sheen and most beautiful drape of this shawl made me quite a center of attention. Color is perfect for my skin tone(pale and cool undertones) and goes with pretty much everything On side note I have purchased it together with a jumper for my son and was very surprised to get the jumper delivery in a week at no extra cost (and we are talking New Zealand). Pashmina took about 6 weeks which is what I expected, again delivered with no extra charges,not many companies would do that.

It's so hot that we have to sell cashmere very cheaply - 75% off

With the thermomenter reading 32c, we realise that the last thing you want right now is a lovely soft cosy cashmere snood.

However, for those who like to plan ahead. Or for those who spend much time in ice cold air-conditioning, we have some very very big discounts for you.

75% off many from our LUX cashmere brand.  Take a look, and grab a bargain while they are available.

Regulatory Capture - EU Rules

New EU Newsletter Rules

How will it effect you?
Have you ever gone to the ‘promotions’ tab in your email, scanned through to see if anything is of interest, then deleted all of them without reading any ?
The EU has decided that this is too much trouble, so from 28th May 2018, unless you re-affirm that you want to receive news from Mypashmina, you will not continue to receive news.
The video below shows what you will be protected from.



European Comission
Why make these new laws ?
It’s called regulatory capture. The big companies lobby the governments to ratchet up the regulation which benefits them and harms their smaller competitors in case any of them take any market share.
Who benefits ?
Amazon, Ebay, Google, Facebook, Twitter benefit. If small businesses have a massively reduced email list, then they have to either sell their products via the big outlets like Amazon and Ebay, or pay Facebook, Twitter and Google for advertising. Also the big high street stores benefit. Email newsletters act as a little reminder that that great small store you bought from last year is still around. High street stores are hard to forget, so a reminder is not necessary. Consultants  and lawyers also benefit as they always do with new legislation, the more ridiculous it is, then all the better for them.
It isn’t the consumer who benefits, that is for sure. See the video above about what you might be saved from! Ironically, my twitter feed always has some EUROPEAN COMMISSION advert that I didn’t ask for in my feed. They auto-play videos at me automatically using up a tiny bit of my monthly bandwidth.
To be unsubscribed from an email, this is how to do it.

Am I missing something?
If you read this and think I missed something, please let me know. We are always happy to hear views and news from our lovely customers.
