HOW CAN YOU TELL A REAL PASHMINA?

Pashmina Shawls is the most exquisite choice for a luxurious and elegant look for winters. There are many ways to identify that pashmina is real or fake. They are as follow:

1. Burning Test: Separate one thread out of the fringes, placed the threaded piece on the plate, simply light a match and let it burn. After it burns, smell its odour and check the remaining ashes with your fingertips carefully. If you get burnt hair smell and the ash turns out to be like a powdery substance, it is intended to be real pashmina because it is created from real, natural hair. Despite the burning, a real pashmina material feels like matte, quite similar to what it was before burning. 
2. Weaving Test: To check the authenticity of pashmina shawls a good way is to carefully examine the weave against the light. Pashmina wool is spun by hand consequently it always has irregular weaves.  
3. Diameter Test: Diameter details of a pashmina shawl is a good way to check the authenticity as pure pashmina fibres are very finner and thinner, the best pashmina is between 14- 15.5 microns anything above 19 microns is not pure pashmina, lower the count of microns the items is softer and lighter. 
4.  Rubbing test: This is a scientific method to check the authenticity as when we rub acrylic or polyester it will create static electricity and attract tiny objects and dust, In contrast when we rub natural fibre they would have low static energy which wouldn’t generate sparks nor attract tiny objects.
5. Pilling test: Pilling is a quintessential feature with an animal fibre material like Pashmina. As a result, the product is probably synthetic, if there is no pilling.
6. Shine Test: Pashmina doesn’t have a shine of its own, it makes no sense for your Pashmina shawl to give a glow and glittery appearance unless it some silk fabric is added to it; which in any case would make it a fake product.
7. Glue test: An authentic Pashmina would scarcely have their label glued to them. Since glues might come off far too easily, the labels are mostly stitched properly to show their level of quality and brand.
