Vendors of those $10 "pashminas" ignore that. Unless I see a label that tells me what's in that "pashmina", I will not buy. <br /><br />This is a useful article, too: https://cashmerezone.com.au/blogs/news/7-tests-for-real-pashmina<br />and you can do your own research re regulations for countries where you travel.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-90042002615238206612019-03-05T13:02:57.212-05:002019-03-05T13:02:57.212-05:00I didn't want to be first, but nobody else has...I didn't want to be first, but nobody else has commented and how I love Ghislaine Grégoire's red linen and silk shawl. Is Mme Grégoire the lady of a certain age modelling her creations? And I wonder if the younger models were her daughter and granddaughter...<br /><br />Is there any regulation governing the term pashmina? Here and in Europe, I've often seen "pashminas" for ten dollars or euros or even less, obviously cheap rayon. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.com
