Stylish foreigners have long understood what needs to be done to change their image in a second without difficulty. After Gauthier revealed to everyone the chic of the Orenburg downy shawl, and Dolce & Gabbana, McQueen and designers Anastasia Romantsova and Alena Akhmadullina proved to everyone that blouses, skirts and dresses made of openwork down are not only warm, but also elegant, fashionistas from all over the world became interested in Russia.

Our country is distinguished by a special style, which is now in trend. Although our winters are no longer so frosty, a real Orenburg downy shawl is a must-have accessory that can only be found in our country, for example, real shawls are professionally created by the Orenburg downy artel "PUSHA".

Almost weightless, but at the same time warm, the scarf is elegant, unique in design and is worn for a very long time. Like any hand-made thing, it is unique because it is made not in a factory, but with a soul. The creation of a shawl, spider web or stole requires months of painstaking work of a spinner, so a scarf is not cheap. They are spun from goat down, which is thin, warm and durable. It is known that several centuries ago goats with special down moved from Tibet to the Urals and stayed there. Even before the revolution, the French, amazed at the quality and beauty of products made from goat down, tried to breed Orenburg goats at home. But the unique down, which kept the goats warm in the harsh Urals, turned into the most common one - rough and thick. The British and Australians also failed to raise the Orenburg goats. But later in England, Spain, France, America, companies appeared that began to make imitations and are still working in this format. After the Paris International Exhibition in 1857, the whole world started talking about downy shawls and cobwebs from Orenburg. Downy shawls were a resounding success at exhibitions in Japan, Algeria, Montreal, and Germany.

Orenburg shawls are not easy to forge, but many, in pursuit of status and in order to save money, buy machine-knitted products. But a real Orenburg downy shawl is rarely made at a factory. It is allowed to knit its middle on the machine. The spinner does the rest by hand. A real accessory is worth buying from craftswomen from the Orenburg region. Professional powder flasks work as cooperatives in the city of Orsk. Since it is impossible for most of them to get there, exclusive scarves are sold in the online store of the downy artel "Pusha". There you can choose a shawl, stole, mittens, socks, scarves and arrange fast delivery. Fashionistas from abroad, as well as throughout Russia, are increasingly making online orders, because they know Pushha as a manufacturer of a real Orenburg downy shawl.

The secret of creating downy "treasures" is often passed down by craftswomen only within the family, but all stylish Russians and foreigners have a chance to buy this work of art. And the Russian winter is no longer to scare anyone: they are eagerly awaiting her in order to demonstrate a new image with an Orenburg downy shawl on her shoulders.
