Swaddle up! Generous of dimension (228 by 114 cm; 90 by 45 inches), the Gesar is large enough to cocoon you in comfort during an otherwise grueling flight, on a transcendental out-of-body experience, or roughing it at home with a glass of wine.
Pure handwoven pashmina (cashmere), the Gesar is light but robust, with no fringes to catch in your neighbor's seatbelt or screw up your concentration when you're trying to open your chakras. The elegant weave is the traditional diamond pattern known as chashm-e-bulbul, or eye of the bulbul bird, which both facilitates flight and also increases inner mindfulness.
The Gesar is our own creation, and you will find it only at Sunrise. We chose the dimensions, the weave, the colors. It's our baby, and you're going to love it.
Price: $325
Above: Gesar of Ling, the eponymous hero of the great Tibetan oral epic. Usually depicted with red cape astride his flying horse, Gesar is the spiritual and physical protector of his people. The narrative has circulated in oral form for centuries, and the transcribed texts are several times more extensive than our versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey together.
It's a cold, damp, rainy day. You're chilled to the bone, and nothing seems to warm you up - not coffee or tea, or cocoa or toasty wool socks.
C'est la vie, you think - and then remember that you've got a bit of magic in your closet, and pull out Sunrise Pashmina's new Gesar travel blanket / meditation shawl.
It's hygge at its finest.

Review posted by WC on TrustPilot:
I have ordered from Sunrise Pashmina many time over the past decade and a half -- for bridesmaid favors, for close relatives, and for ourselves. Everyone loves and treasures the pashminas (both the smaller and larger ones), and are pleased with the quality and warmth. I totally recommend them.
Among other items, WEC purchased a Gesar in Tantric Crimson. Read more reviews.
