If its in a market stall it is unlikely to be made out of real cashmere and more likely a blend of synthetic who knows what...if you are looking for a real pashmina try somewhere like Pearls and Cashmere in the old Mandarin Oriental building, but they aren't cheap. If you just want something that looks decent but isn't the real thing, compare the offerings at a couple of the market stalls. The Ladies Market has quite a few vendors selling "pashminas" for under 100HKD.

I buy them from Stanley Market, you turn left into the market from the main street and then, it's a shop on the right that sells only cashmere sweaters, pashminas and scarves. They have different kinds of quality, and different kinds of prices. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the ones I buy there and the ones I have from Cashmere House in Sydney, which is an expensive high-end cashmere place.

Can't remember, but they have cheaper models, middle range, and more expensive ones, but nothing compared to the shops in expensive malls. I think better quality is around 300, middle range 190, and cheaper 120 or something like that. Sorry, I have terrible memory, and usually, when I go there, I always get a big bunch to bring back home as gifts for everyone.

I'll check the prices next time I go and will update this post! Promise!

In the markets you can normally get the simple no frills 5 or 6 pieces for approx. HK$100 total bringing the price for one to about HK$20 or slightly less. If the pashmina has more detailed work on it then the prices alter a bit.

Pashmina shawl - simple and light one?

Well I bought some in the shopping mall next to the cheunking mansion on nathon road, TST

6 pcs for 100 HKD

They are a lof of shops there offer more than 10 colours.

ps quality is ok, not so oft as real cashmere, but still ok and still soft.
I have seen and felt some, which were much more "hard"

if you want to go there, let me know. then we can go together. it is close to my office.
