Shalnoy Orenburg – an Online Shop of Stoles and Shawls

For several years now, the word "shortage" has disappeared from Russians' vocabulary. Today the market is flooded with all kinds of goods – just choose. But are they all of good quality? Of course not!

For example, you can buy a goat-down stole without the risk of getting a low-quality fake only in specialised shops or directly from the makers. The Shalnoy Orenburg company went further and combined both forms of sale. As a maker of Orenburg shawls, we have set up a convenient online shop of stoles that specialises in selling hand- and machine-knitted down items.

In fashion in any weather!

On the pages of our official website, where you are now, more than a hundred unique items are "on display". Women's down stoles come in various sizes. The smaller ones do not exceed 120 cm in length and 40 cm in width. And an adult can wrap themselves head to toe in the largest stoles!

Just look at these lovely things! They are so beautiful that choosing becomes difficult. White stoles are traditionally in greatest demand. They are related to snowflakes not only by colour but also by patterns familiar since childhood. Orenburg needlewomen knit winter ornaments so skilfully that it is as if nature itself created them.

The variety of colours makes it possible to find a suitable option. For a cool summer evening you can get a grey or beige stole. For the off-season – one matching your outerwear. And for celebrations, for example a church wedding on a frosty winter day – a delicate stole to match the wedding outfit.

Give me a shawl!

In the middle of the last century, giving shawls to loved ones was considered good form. Today, perhaps not every woman will appreciate an ordinary shawl as a gift. A down stole is quite another matter. Because our online shop of stoles offers a huge range, a gift can be chosen even to match the colour of your beloved's eyes or hair.

Women love beautiful things, and down stoles are always lovely! Modest women will like soft, warm shawls in calm shades: pale straw, grey, soft brown. Ladies who are used to always being in the spotlight are better presented with an embroidered item, one trimmed with beads or of an unusual bright colour.

Given that the main purpose of stoles is to retain warmth, it is better to give them in the autumn or winter months.

Machine-made or hand-knitted?

If a buyer finds it hard to choose, our consultant will always come to the rescue. The Shalnoy Orenburg online shop of stoles has well-trained salespeople on its staff. Each of them is always ready to help a customer. This is one of the advantages of an online shop. There is no need to wait until a salesperson is free, no need to stand in a queue. Besides, getting to such a shop is not difficult at all. All you need is a laptop or phone and the Internet.

The consultant will explain in detail the difference between machine and hand knitting. It mainly lies in the price and texture of the items. Factory stoles, for obvious reasons, cost somewhat less. They do not look as warm as those knitted on needles. The machine-knitted pattern consists of small geometric shapes and is clearly visible on the fabric of the item.

Handwork is valued more highly. The more complex the pattern of a handmade item, the higher its price. But the stole itself is more aesthetic, voluminous and fluffy. If your income allows, we advise you to choose the second option.

How are stoles worn?

The first thing women do is throw the shawl over their shoulders. The warm and very gentle touch brings calm to the soul. A smile of contentment involuntarily appears on the face. Then the experiments begin. The shawl moves from the shoulders to the neck, then to the head. And everywhere it looks beautiful and gives its owner its warmth.

A stole is an all-season item. On the shoulders it is appropriate at home or in the office. It will not let a delicate neck get cold in the off-season. An almost weightless shawl thrown over the head will never spoil a hairstyle.
