HOW TO BUY A GENUINE TIBETAN YAK BLANKET?
The growing popularity of the Himalayan shawls attracts many fake dealers who usually cheat and misguide the buyers by selling power loom-made woolen shawls that are impacting the handloom industry as well. To avoid any such forged attempt, you need to know where and how to buy the original Himalayan Shawls.

While shopping for it, keep in mind the following tips:

The shawls that are handmade in the Himalayan valley are expensive because it takes days to complete the process. So, if you get any product under a huge discount or cheap price, don't fall for it. It may be a fake product

The best way to identify the original product is the Geographical Indicator (GI) mark that has been issued by the Government. Though not all manufacturers have obtained it, this mark is still the best way to find out the original shawls made in the Himalayan Valley.

You need to check the design of the shawl closely. If you find out that the reverse side of the shawl looks the same, then the shawl may be handcrafted and genuine.

The handcrafted shawls seem coarse when you touch them to retain the warmth.

The colors used to dye the shawls are organic and non-toxic to the skin whereas acrylic colors are used for machine-made shawls.
