Welcome!

Pashmina, also known as Cashmere, derives from the Persian word “Pashm,” meaning high-quality wool fiber, often called the Soft Gold King of fibers. It is the world’s finest Cashmere wool, celebrated for being cozy and warmth.

Pashmina, treasured for centuries, comes from the fine wool of the Himalayan goat, called Capra Hircus or locally Chyangra. These goats live high in the Himalayas, above 14,000 feet, in regions like Nepal, Tibet, Kashmir, and Inner Mongolia. To withstand harsh winters, they grow a warm undercoat known as Pashm, found on their underbelly, which is incredibly soft and about six times finer than human hair. Producing only 3-5 ounces of wool a year, it takes the fleece of nearly three goats to make one Pashmina shawl. With fibers measuring just 15-16.5 microns, this delicate wool can’t be spun by machines and is hand-woven into luxurious pieces.

Pashmina, the finest type of Cashmere wool, has been cherished for centuries by royals and elites as the ultimate symbol of luxury. Known for its incredible lightness, durability, and cozy warmth, this exquisite wool has a rich history in Nepal, dating back to prehistoric times. High-altitude dwellers first discovered its unique qualities, and today, a genuine Pashmina remains not just a luxury but a rare treasure.

Pashmina products are crafted from 100% pure Cashmere yarn, sometimes blended with silk, and distinguished by the weight of each piece, which depends on the different counts and plies of the pure Cashmere yarn used.

Nepal is famous for its hand-woven Pashmina products, cherished as some of the most prized possessions in the world. Now recognized and registered in 47 countries, they are known as Chyangra Pashmina, a trademark label for authentic Pashminas from Nepal.
