Product Details

Pashmina is the name of the finest hand made woolen fabric made from the soft, downy undercoat that grows primarily on the neck and belly of the himalayan mountain goat, capra hiracus. Therefore pashmina is pashm in woven form. The word pashm is adjective of a kashmiri word ‘posh’, meaning the animal. In the opinion of some oriental scholars the word pashmina is of either turkish or persian origin.
pashmima has a special luster due to its long fine fibers which are as thin as 12 microns. By contrast, the fibers from premium sheep’s wool such as merino extra fine, are 23 microns thick and human hair ranges up to 200 microns thickness.

You can choose any of the below to feel the richness and quality of pashmina embroidered shawls:
