         Pashmina today has become the name of the very best cashmere in the world. The value of Pashmina lies in the fact that it is the best and the finest cashmere in the world. It is the warmest, softest and lightest of the cashmeres. Pashmina can only come from goats raised in the Himalayan Mountain region. The Himalayan goats produce such exquisite wool because of the elevation at which they live. The Capra Hircus goat, which is the source of Pashmina, lives at elevation of 14,500 feet (4,500 meters) and above, where temperature rarely rise above minus 30 degree Fahrenheit in winter. Pashmina is the goat’s soft underbelly down is shed each spring and Pashmina fibers are collected either from the rocks and bushes or is brushed from the underbelly. No harm comes to the goats in the collection of the Pashmina wool.

         The fibers are then sorted, cleaned and spun into Pashmina yarn. It is then woved by weavers and individually dyed and dried. Practically any color imaginable can be achieved. For a thousand years or more, this glorious wool has been cherished for its warmth, lightness and durability. For weightlessness and warmness, Pashmina wool is unsurpassed. Pashmina is designed in such a way that offers warmth with lightness and it is comfortable to wear in all seasons with delights.

         Today most of the world’s Pashmina shawl, stoles and scarves are woven on handlooms in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Most are woven with warp of spun silk for increased suppleness and strength. Only within the past few years this methods has been introduced to other parts of the world. The ultimate indulgence is a 100% pure Pashmina garment. But the most popular form of Pashmina is called PASHMINA SILK. It is a blend of approximately 70% Pashmina and 30% silk. Fashionable customers prefer this blend because silk adds strength and shine to the garment. We also fabricate embroidered Pashmina shawls, pattern print shawls and jakard shawls (shawls with design) as well.
