Shawls — velvet shawls to layer over Pakistani outfits

An accessories edit of four velvet shawls — deep green, teal green mosaic, MILKY WAY and PEAKS — made to be layered over an outfit rather than worn as one. A velvet shawl adds warmth, weight and a finished line over whatever it covers.

Prices run from about £61 to about £364, a wide band for four pieces — each shawl sits at its own level, so it is worth opening all four pages before choosing.

Shawls — questions, answered

How do I wear these shawls? Draped over the shoulders as the finishing layer — over a suit, a formal or anything the evening turns cool on. One good shawl will outlast several of the outfits beneath it.

What is the price range? From about £61 to about £364 — each of the four shawls is priced individually.

How quickly do shawls dispatch? Nothing is sold ready-stitched. Where the cloth is already in stock, your piece is cut and stitched to your size and dispatched in 3 to 7 working days; formal and heavily hand-worked pieces take 4 to 8 weeks — each product page states which applies.

Do you ship worldwide? Yes — free worldwide shipping, with express delivery to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and the Gulf.

How should I care for a velvet shawl? Dry clean only, store it hung or loosely rolled rather than folded flat, and steam — never iron — to revive the pile.
