my nephew will be traveling to the area of india where pashmina shawls are made and he has agreed to purchase several for me. has anyone purchased these shawls and do you have any buying tips for me to pass on to him? he is not a shopper and i would like to be as specific as possible.

my one pashmina shawl is from a filene's bin from the store on broadway in new york city so i did not spend much time researching. i have read alot of info tonight from a very good website but that is not the same as shopping on the mountain next to the goat.
