Choosing a Piece

Seven answers
01Are the Pieces authentic, and where do they come from?

Yes. Every Piece is authentic and sourced directly from Kashmir, India. We state the origin, fibre and relevant craft details for the individual Piece rather than relying on a vague collection-wide claim.

02Are all Pieces pure pashmina?

The collection includes pure pashmina and pure silk Pieces. The exact material is identified on each Piece page, because the description of one Piece never applies automatically to another.

03How does the House establish authenticity?

We separate evidence from assumption. Fibre, weave, embroidery, origin and supporting documentation are named only when they genuinely belong to that Piece. Read our

Provenance & Authenticity standard.

04Are small variations or irregularities defects?

Not automatically. Fine natural fibres and hand finishing may produce slight variation in weave, embroidery, tone, dimensions or touch. These can be part of the Piece’s character when consistent with its description. Undisclosed damage or a material difference remains fully reviewable.

05Will the colour look exactly the same in person?

We represent every shade as faithfully as possible, but screen settings and lighting can alter colour. If the exact tone matters, ask for additional photographs or a short video before ordering.

06How do I choose the right size or form?

Use the individual measurements and form stated on the Piece page. Terms such as shawl, stole and ghutra describe form and intended use; they do not prove material. If you are comparing options, Private Assistance can help interpret the dimensions.

07Will a sold Piece return?

Perhaps not. Pieces are acquired in limited quantities and some may be singular. We never promise a restock until it has been confirmed.

Ordering & Payment

Five answers
08How do I place an order?

Open the Piece and choose Order with the House. WhatsApp opens with the Piece details ready to share. The House then confirms availability, the complete price, your Qatar delivery details and the available payment method before the order proceeds.

09Does asking about a Piece reserve it?

No. A WhatsApp enquiry or request for photographs does not reserve a Piece. Because quantities are limited, the order is secured only when the House expressly confirms the reservation or acceptance together with the agreed payment and delivery arrangements.

10Which currency and payment methods do you accept?

All prices are in Qatari riyals. At launch, the House accepts Fawran transfer and cash on delivery, with the applicable option confirmed for the order. Never send full card details, banking passwords or one-time codes through WhatsApp or email.

11Can I change or cancel an order?

Contact the House immediately. An order may be cancelled without charge before acceptance. After acceptance, we will try to stop preparation or dispatch but cannot promise it will be possible. If it has already left us, cancellation is no longer available; the exchange policy applies after delivery.

12Do you have a physical boutique?

Not at present. Dar Al Pashmina begins as an online boutique serving Qatar. Private Assistance is available when you want a closer view or personal help choosing.

Delivery & Exchanges

Five answers
13Where do you deliver, and what does it cost?

We currently deliver within Qatar only. Standard delivery is complimentary for every accepted order, with no minimum spend. International delivery is not offered at this stage.

14How long will delivery take?

The expected timing is confirmed for the order and calculated from acceptance, not merely submission. If a particular date matters, ask before ordering. A date is guaranteed only when the House expressly agrees it as fixed.

15What information is needed for secure delivery?

Provide an accurate Qatar address, building and unit details, a working mobile number, recipient name and access instructions. A high-value delivery may require the named recipient, signature, one-time code or another reasonable verification step.

16What is the exchange policy?

Dar Al Pashmina does not offer refunds. To request an exchange, contact the House within three calendar days of confirmed delivery. The Piece must remain unused, unworn beyond reasonable inspection, unwashed and unaltered, with its labels, security tag and supplied presentation intact.

Once approved, we arrange one complimentary Qatar collection. After inspection, an eligible Piece may be exchanged for another available Piece. The House will confirm the available options and any price difference before proceeding. No refund is issued. Read the

Delivery & Exchange Policy.

17What if my Piece arrives damaged, incorrect or materially different?

Stop using it and contact the House as soon as reasonably possible with the order number and clear photographs or video. Reporting visible transit damage within 48 hours helps preserve delivery evidence. We will arrange collection at our cost and, once the issue is verified, replace the Piece with the correct or an equivalent available Piece. If the original is unavailable, the House will offer suitable exchange options.

Gifting & Care

Four answers
18Will my order arrive gift-ready?

Yes. At launch, every Piece receives one signature Dar Al Pashmina presentation box at no extra charge. There are no packaging tiers, paid upgrades, bespoke box colours or personalisation options to choose between. Read about

the House presentation.

19Can you help me choose, or show me more before I buy?

Yes. Share the Piece name or link. For gifting, include the recipient, occasion, preferred colours and approximate budget. We can recommend the strongest available options and provide useful close-ups or a short video.

20Can a gift recipient request an exchange?

Yes. A gift recipient may contact the House within the same three-calendar-day period, provided the Piece meets the exchange conditions. The House will confirm availability and any price difference before the exchange proceeds. No refund is issued to either the purchaser or the recipient.

21How should I care for my Piece?

Follow the directions supplied for the exact Piece. Pure pashmina, pure silk, dye, weave and embroidery may require different treatment. When uncertain, stop before cleaning and consult our

Care Guide.
