Pashmina Shawls originate from the Kashmir region of India and were traditionally used by Kashmiri people to keep warm during winters.
The wool used in weaving Pashmina Shawls is obtained from the Pashmina Goat found in the high-altitude Ladakh region of the Himalayas, where temperatures drop to around -40 degrees Celsius in winters.
Pashmina wool is exceptionally soft and fine, known for being one of the highest-quality wools globally.
Skilled artisans in Kashmir hand-weave Pashmina Shawls, a craft passed down through generations.
The exquisite quality and embroidery of Pashmina Shawls have made them highly sought-after worldwide, particularly in Europe and the USA.
Weaving Pashmina Shawls has become a significant source of income for local Kashmiri artisans, improving their living standards.
Pashmina Shawls are expensive due to their fine wool and intricate work, typically affordable for the high-income group.
Crafting a single Pashmina Shawl is a time-consuming process, taking approximately 72 hours or more, and they have become a fashion statement.
