Our Pashmina Collection represents the finest in pashmina cloth, hand made according to centuries-old traditions. We use exclusively authentic pashm wool, sheared from high altitude goats reared by Ladakhi nomads on the Changthang plateau in the Himalayas.
Pashmina, also now known as Cashmere, has been used since the 16th century in creating some of the finest, most luxurious scarves in the world. Traditionally, pashmina came from goats reared by nomads in the high plateaus of Tibet and Ladakh and this is where we source our fibre from. The wool is Geographical Indicator (GI)-tagged to ensure it is authentically Ladakhi.
Pashmina’s ultra-fine fibers - just 12–15 microns in diameter, far finer than even superfine merino - create countless microscopic air pockets that retain body heat with remarkable efficiency. The result is natural insulation that feels luxuriously soft and weightless.
Any variations or irregularities are to be celebrated. They are part of the design & inherent to the handcrafted production process, making this item beautifully unique.
