Original Pashmina scarves from Indian Kashmir
A genuine Pashmina scarf is something special and comes from an ancient craft tradition. The material is incredibly light and at the same time remarkably warm. Pashminas are known for being so featherlight that they can even be pulled through a ring.
Small Indian traditional company
We source our Pashmina scarves directly from the Indian Kashmir region from a small company. For over 50 years they have been hand-making Pashmina scarves on traditional looms. The company is SEDEX-verified, meaning they follow social and ethical principles. With dimensions of 70 x 200 cm the scarf is versatile – whether as a warming shoulder wrap or a stylish accessory. The Pashminas are produced in a high-quality diamond weave (weave type) and are available in various colours. The colours white and beige are left natural (undyed). The dyes are azo-free.
Fine undercoat from the Changra goat
The harvesting of Kashmir wool is a labour-intensive process with a long tradition. The wool comes from the Changra goat, native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, including the Indian Kashmir area.
In late spring or early summer the goats naturally moult. During this time the fine undercoat, which forms the core of Kashmir wool, loosens from the skin. The goatherds collect these valuable hairs by carefully combing the animals. Only the soft and fine undercoat is used for making cashmere products, while the coarser outer hair is used for less luxurious purposes.
Centuries-old craftsmanship
The collected wool is then cleaned, spun and woven into high-quality textiles such as our Pashmina scarf. Each stage of this process requires specialised expertise and careful respect for the material in order to preserve the unique quality and softness of the Kashmir wool.
This creates a product that honours the careful work and rich tradition woven into every thread. With a 100% cashmere Pashmina scarf you not only experience a wonderfully soft and warm accessory, but also carry a piece of authentic craftsmanship with you.
Care instructions
Pashmina scarves should be gently hand-washed in lukewarm water or dry-cleaned to ensure their quality and longevity.
