Collection: Pashminas

Pashmina shawls, made from the fine wool of the Changthangi goat in the Himalayas, are celebrated for their exceptional softness, warmth, and elegant drape. The wool, 12-15 microns thick, makes these shawls softer and warmer than regular sheep's wool. Their creation is labor-intensive, involving combing, spinning, weaving, and finishing, often taking weeks or months. Known as "soft gold," they come in plain, embroidered, and patterned designs, with intricate motifs sometimes in gold or silver thread. Originally white, brown, or grey, they can be dyed in various colors. Pashmina shawls have a rich history, symbolizing royalty and luxury in South Asia and being fashionable in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.
