Description

Ivory

An Ivory Cashmere Shawl for Elegant Evenings, Weddings and Every Day

The Handwoven Ivory Cashmere Scarf Shawl is a 40 x 80 inch (1 m x 2 m) ivory cashmere shawl in 100% Grade A cashmere, woven by hand in Kathmandu and weighing about 70 grams (2.5 oz). It is a warm ivory, soft and sheer, and it is made to order after you buy it.

Ivory is the quiet choice that still looks dressed. As an ivory cashmere scarf it softens a coat by day; opened out as an ivory cashmere wrap shawl, elegant over an evening dress, it covers your shoulders. In the photos it is worn tone on tone over an ivory blazer and trousers, which is the most elegant way to wear it.

For a woman who wants one elegant cashmere scarf, one elegant cashmere shawl and one cashmere stole in a single piece, a soft cashmere shawl for women in a neutral color is the one to choose, and ivory is the softest neutral we weave.

Ivory or White

What Color Is Ivory, and Is It White?

Ivory is white with a warm, creamy undertone. Next to bright white it looks softer and slightly yellow; next to cream it looks lighter. If you were searching for an off white scarf, elegant and warm rather than stark, or a cream cashmere scarf, elegant enough for evening, this is the color. A warm ivory scarf flatters most skin tones better than pure white, because it is less harsh at the face.

Choosing an ivory scarf color to match is simple: hold the scarf against what you plan to wear. Ivory matches ivory, cream and champagne fabrics; against a bright white dress it will read as cream.

In fashion, an ivory scarf goes with almost any outfit. An ivory scarf outfit can be tone on tone, as in the photos, or set against black, navy or camel.


Ways to Wear

Four Ways to Wear an Ivory Cashmere Wrap

These are the four ways it is worn in the photos. At 40 x 80 inches it works as a soft ivory scarf, a stole or a full body shawl.

The High Wrap

Gather it narrow and wrap it twice around your neck, letting the folds sit over the collar. Over a blazer it looks finished and keeps the neck warm.

The Full Body Shawl

Open it to its full width and wrap it around your shoulders so it falls to the knee. As a full body shawl or body scarf it covers you on a cool evening.

Open in the Light

Lift it open and you can see how fine the weave is: light passes through, like a sheer ivory shawl. Worn doubled, it reads as solid ivory.

The Back Drape

Lay it over one shoulder and let the long end fall down your back. An elegant shawl over shoulders like this frames an evening outfit from behind.

For a cashmere shawl draped over shoulders, or any elegant shawl draped over shoulders, fold it in half lengthwise first. A light scarf draped over shoulders makes the outfit: it adds a soft, elegant line without hiding the clothes, and the shawl draped over shoulders looks elegant rather than bundled.


Formal and Weddings

An Ivory Shawl for Formal Outfits and Weddings

BridesAn ivory cashmere wrap over an ivory or champagne gown keeps you warm for an outdoor ceremony or a cool evening reception. Hold it against your dress first.
Mothers of the bride and groomAn ivory shawl, elegant over a pale or jewel-colored dress and warm in a cold church or garden.
Wedding guestsMany couples ask guests to avoid white and ivory near the bride. If you are a guest, choose a color instead, such as our Aquamarine or Indigo.
Black tie and galaAn ivory cashmere wrap for evening over black is the classic contrast. For an ivory cashmere wrap with an evening outfit, black is the safest partner.
Winter eventsAn ivory cashmere wrap at a formal evening in winter adds warmth that chiffon cannot.

Building an ivory shawl formal outfit? Keep the rest of the look simple and let the texture show: an ivory elegant outfit for a woman works well when the shawl is the softest piece. A cashmere shawl elegant outfit, or a cashmere scarf elegant outfit for day, needs little else.

A cashmere shawl is also an elegant gift. Ivory is the easiest neutral color to give, because it suits most wardrobes; for a cashmere shawl that is elegant in neutral colors, ivory and black are the two to choose.


Chiffon, Silk or Cashmere

Ivory Chiffon Shawl, Ivory Silk Scarf or Ivory Cashmere?

Ivory chiffon shawlSheer and floaty, but cool. An ivory chiffon shawl is elegant for a summer evening, yet gives almost no warmth for a formal evening outdoors.
Ivory silk scarf or shawlSmooth, with a sheen. An ivory silk scarf is elegant at the neck, and an ivory silk shawl drapes well, but silk slips and feels cold at first touch.
Ivory satin shawlShiny and structured, elegant with a ball gown, but heavier and less soft.
Ivory cashmereSheer like chiffon in a single layer, soft like silk, and warm. This handwoven ivory cashmere shawl is the one to choose when the evening may turn cold.

If you were looking for an ivory chiffon evening shawl or an ivory chiffon shawl for a formal outfit, this gives the same sheer look with real warmth. If you wanted an ivory silk scarf for women or an ivory silk neck scarf, folded lengthwise this cashmere one wraps just as neatly at the neck. Compared with a white sheer shawl in polyester, cashmere breathes and does not cling. An ivory wool scarf has to be thicker and heavier to give the same warmth.

Searching for an ivory pashmina shawl, elegant for a wedding, or an ivory pashmina evening wrap? Pashmina is the traditional name for very fine cashmere, but shops today often use it for blends with silk or viscose. This ivory cashmere pashmina shawl is 100% cashmere: a true cashmere pashmina shawl, elegant and warm. For an ivory pashmina shawl in a formal outfit, it drapes over a gown or a tailored jacket.

The Cashmere

What Makes This Cashmere Soft, Light and Warm

Warmth in cashmere comes from fineness, not weight. Very fine fibers trap still air close to your skin, which is how a 70 gram scarf can feel warm around your neck. That fineness is also why a cashmere scarf is a soft fabric to wear all day.

14 to 16 micronsUnder US labeling rules, cashmere must average 19 microns or finer. This fiber is finer still, so it feels soft rather than prickly.
35 to 55 mm stapleLonger fibers hold in the yarn better, so the scarf pills and sheds less as it ages.
200/2 yarnTwo very fine threads twisted together give strength while keeping the scarf soft enough to knot without bulk.
About 70 gFolds small enough for a handbag when you do not need it.

How should cashmere scarf fabric feel? Soft and slightly hazy, never slick or shiny; a hard sheen often means a synthetic blend. To test any scarf at home, see our guide to telling real cashmere from a blend.


Handwoven in Kathmandu

Made on a Handloom, One Scarf at a Time

Each scarf is woven by one weaver on a wooden handloom in our Kathmandu workshop, which takes about five days. After weaving it is washed, dyed ivory, checked and mended by hand, and finished with a loose fringe. Your scarf is made after you order and delivered within 2 to 3 weeks, by free tracked courier anywhere in the world.

Care

Caring for an Ivory Cashmere Shawl

Ivory shows makeup, foundation and marks more than any other color. Dab marks with cool water as soon as you see them, before they set, and wear it over a collar rather than against makeup where you can.

Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent or wool wash, soak for 8 to 12 minutes, press the water through without wringing, rinse in cool water and dry it flat on a towel out of direct sun. Store it folded, clean and wrapped in plain cotton, away from light, so the ivory does not yellow.

The open weave can catch on rings, bracelets, zips and bag straps. If a thread pulls, ease it back from the other side with a blunt needle. Never cut it.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Ivory Cashmere Shawl

Q. Is ivory the same as white?
A. No, ivory is white with a warm, creamy undertone. Next to bright white it looks softer and slightly yellow, and it is gentler on most skin tones.
Q. Can a bride wear this ivory shawl?
A. Yes, over an ivory, cream or champagne gown it matches well and keeps you warm outdoors. Hold it against your dress first, because next to a bright white gown it will read as cream.
Q. Should a wedding guest wear an ivory shawl?
A. Usually not, because many couples ask guests to avoid white and ivory. A guest is safer in a color, such as our Aquamarine or Indigo shawls.
Q. Is it warmer than an ivory chiffon or silk shawl?
A. Yes, cashmere is far warmer than chiffon or silk, while still looking sheer in a single layer. Chiffon and silk are elegant but give little warmth on a cold evening.
Q. Is it see-through?
A. A single layer is sheer, especially held up to light, because the handwoven weave is open and fine. Worn doubled over the shoulders, it reads as solid ivory.
Q. How do I keep an ivory scarf clean?
A. Dab marks with cool water before they set, hand wash it gently in cold water, and store it clean and away from light so it does not yellow.
Q. Is it 100% cashmere?
A. Yes, it is 100% Grade A cashmere from the Tibetan Plateau, with no wool, viscose or acrylic. The fiber measures 14 to 16 microns and is spun into a 200/2 yarn, then woven by hand in Nepal.
Q. Is a 70 gram cashmere shawl warm?
A. Yes, it is warm for its weight, because very fine cashmere traps still air close to the skin. For a winter evening outdoors, wear it doubled or over a jacket.
Q. How long does delivery take, and is shipping free?
A. It is handmade to order and delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of your order, with free tracked shipping worldwide. The courier needs a signature, we cannot deliver to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses, and import duties, where a country charges them, are paid by the customer.
Q. Can I return it?
A. Yes, within 30 days of delivery if it is unworn and in its original condition, and we refund you within 14 days of receiving it. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the fault is ours, and personalized pieces cannot be returned.
