What is a cashmere stole

A cashmere stole would be known more as a formal shawl used around the shoulders over a party dress or ball gown. A cashmere stole is typically narrower than a shawl, and of simpler construction than a cape, wrapped and carried about the shoulders or arms. It has been said that the term ‘stole’ probably is related to the ancient Roman stola (the woman’s version of the toga).
Generally comes in size of 50-70 cm wide to 175cm -190cm long.
