Kashmiri Pashmina Shawl

Famous pashmina shawls from Kashmir, known for generations for their exquisite buta or paisley patterns, received a French influence.
The change from exquisite embroidery to abstract paintings on Kashmiri shawls has brought back the cloth with a more modern look.

About The Pashmina:

The Persian word "Pashm," which meaning "soft gold," is where the name "pashmina" originates.
Cashmere, an animal fibre obtained from the Changthangi goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), of Ladakh, is the source of pashmina.
It is native to Leh-Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir's high-altitude regions.
Every spring, goats used to make pashmina shed their winter coats. One goat sheds between 80 and 170 grams of fibre.
The goats' undercoat is naturally shed in the spring (moulting season), and it grows back in the winter.
Instead of shearing the goat as is done with other fine wool, the undercoat is removed by combing the animal.
The pashmina wool shawl was advertised as a substitute for the Shahtoosh shawl. The Tibetan antelope is used to make Shahtoosh Shawls.
Kashmiri Pashmina Shawls has also received GI Tag.

Features:

In addition to its typical dye-absorbing ability, it is well renowned for being warm, lightweight, and soft.
The Guinness Book of World Records has recognised pashmina as the priciest fabric ever made.
The finest variation of cashmere, pashmina wool is valued on the global market and is thinner than a human hair.
Pashmina is among the world's finest and highest-quality wools.
The Pashmina Shawl caught the interest of people from all over the world, making it one of the most sought-after shawls worldwide.
The local economy was helped by its high demand.
It is well-known for its use in exquisite shawls and other handcrafted goods.
They are a beautiful variation on shawls made of cashmere wool.
