Nunki's stoles for women bring together the finest Indian textile traditions and a contemporary design sensibility that makes each piece as relevant today as it will be a decade from now. From understated cashmere stoles to boldly printed designer stoles with original motifs, the Nunki collection gives women a range that is built to elevate everyday dressing and add quiet brilliance to special occasions.
Our Range of Stoles
Cashmere and Pashmina Stoles
Our cashmere and pashmina stoles sit at the pinnacle of the range, offering an unmatched
combination of warmth, softness, and refined drape that makes them stoles for women who want the very best.
Silk-Wool and Merino Stoles
For those who prefer a lighter hand feel and greater year-round versatility, our silk-wool and fine merino stoles offer the warmth and quality of natural fibres in a more travel-friendly format.
Designer Stoles with Exclusive Prints
Our designer stoles feature original print stories developed in-house. From architectural
geometrics and abstract ink work to heritage-inspired botanical patterns, every design is
considered and purposeful. These are statement stoles for women who value originality over repetition.
What is the Difference Between a Stole, Scarf and Shawl?
A stole is typically longer and narrower than a shawl, designed to drape over the shoulders or across the front of an outfit. A scarf is shorter and primarily a neck accessory. A shawl is the largest of the three formats, intended to wrap fully around the body for warmth. Nunki's stoles are sized to offer the versatility of both stole and light shawl styling.
Occasions to Wear Stoles
Formal and Office Occasions
A well-chosen stole adds polish to office wear without the formality of a jacket. Solid-colour or subtly textured stoles in neutrals or jewel tones work particularly well over formal kurtas, shirts, or structured dresses.
Bridal and Festive Occasions
For weddings, festivals, and celebrations, a cashmere or silk-based stole adds a layer of
luxurious elegance that complements traditional and fusion ethnic outfits. These are often
chosen as bridal trousseau gifts for exactly this reason.
Casual and Everyday Styling
A lighter stole in cotton or merino is the easiest way to make an everyday casual outfit feel more pulled together. Throw it over the shoulders with jeans and a simple top, or use it as a light layer when the air conditioning is too cold.
How to Style Designer Stoles
The Classic Shoulder Drape
Fold the stole lengthwise and lay it across both shoulders, letting the ends fall naturally at the front. This is the most traditional way to wear a stole and works for almost every occasion.
The Belted Stole Look
Place the stole over a dress or tunic and secure at the waist with a thin belt. This contemporary approach transforms a simple stole into a considered styling element and gives the silhouette structure.
Head and Neck Styling
Lighter stoles can be loosely knotted at the neck or used as a dupatta-style head drape for
festive and cultural occasions, giving a single stole remarkable versatility.
Care Instructions
Care instructions vary by fibre. Cashmere and merino stoles should be hand washed in cool water with a gentle detergent and laid flat to dry. Silk-based stoles are best dry cleaned or hand washed with a delicate silk wash. Always store stoles folded in a breathable cotton bag, away from direct light and moisture.
Gifting
A Nunki designer stole is one of the most appreciated gifts you can give. The combination of luxury material, original design, and beautiful packaging makes it a universally welcomed present — and for those who want to go a step further, we offer customisation including embroidered monograms, making each stole truly personal. Whether it is a wedding trousseau, a corporate gift, a Diwali present, or a birthday surprise, a Nunki stole arrives in packaging that reflects the quality of what is inside.
FAQ SECTION — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fabric is best for stoles for women in India?
A: The best fabric depends on the season. Cashmere and merino stoles are ideal for winters in northern India, while silk, silk-wool blends, and lightweight cotton stoles are better suited to the rest of the year. For year-round use, a mid-weight silk-wool stole strikes an excellent balance between warmth and breathability.
Q: How is a stole different from a dupatta?
A: A stole and a dupatta share a similar long, draped format, but differ in construction and cultural context. A dupatta is traditionally part of a specific outfit (salwar kameez or lehenga) and may have embellished edges suited to that pairing. A stole is a standalone accessory, designed to complement a range of outfits rather than complete a single set.
Q: Are designer stoles suitable as wedding gifts?
A: Yes, designer stoles are among the most appreciated wedding and festive gifts. A cashmere or silk stole is luxurious, personal, and universally useful, making it a thoughtful alternative to more generic gifts. Nunki's gifting packaging ensures that stoles arrive in a presentation that reflects the quality of the piece inside.
Q: Can I customise a stole for a corporate gift?
A: Yes. Nunki offers embroidered monogram customisation for stoles, making them ideal for corporate gifting when you want something that feels genuinely personal. Please reach out to our team with your requirements for quantities and personalisation details.
