Not All Cashmere Is Pashmina
The Fiber

Not All Cashmere Is Pashmina

Pashmina is the rarest, finest grade of cashmere — the soft undercoat of the Changthangi goat, native to the Ladakh Himalayas at over 4,000 meters, where winters fall to −40°C. That cold is what makes the fiber this fine. A single goat yields only enough for a fraction of one shawl each year, hand-combed once during the spring molt, then hand-spun and hand-woven by artisans in Kashmir — nothing synthetic, nothing mass-made.

DESCRIPTION
Hand-woven from genuine pashmina cashmere sourced exclusively from the high-altitude Kashmir Valley, India, this shawl is produced by artisans carrying a generations-old weaving tradition. Pashmina cashmere is among the rarest natural fibers in the world — harvested from the undercoat of Changthangi goats at elevations above 14,000 feet — and its exceptionally fine micron count produces a weight and softness that no other fiber replicates. The close plain weave creates a smooth, even surface with a subtle natural sheen that deepens in warmth under light. Hand-knotted fringe finishes both short width edges, while the two long edges remain as clean, unfringed selvedge — a mark of considered, traditional construction. The generous dimensions allow it to be worn as a close neck wrap, draped loosely over the shoulders as a shawl, or drawn fully around the body as a wrap. The colorway is a single deep, saturated dark brown throughout.

How we
make it

Every shawl begins as raw fibre and ends as something only you will ever wear. Here’s the journey in between.

01
Step One

We start with the finest pashmina fibre

Cashmere goat down, hand-spun and hand-woven in Kashmir using a craft passed down through generations — nothing synthetic, nothing rushed.

02
Step Two

Hand-dyed, in your color

No pre-dyed stock. Once your order is placed, your shawl is hand-dyed to the exact color you chose.

03
Step Three

Finished by hand, fringe by fringe

Every fringe is hand-twisted, every edge checked by eye — only then does the shawl become yours.

Made slowly, on purpose.
