Frequently Asked Question!
Pashmina is the finest grade of cashmere, made from the incredibly soft and light undercoat of the Changthangi (Capra hircus) goats found in the high-altitude regions of Ladakh, in the Himalayas. The fibers are ultra-fine (around 12-16 microns thick), making the resulting shawls exceptionally soft, lightweight, and warm.
es, all our Pashmina shawls are 100% authentic Kashmiri Pashmina, hand-spun and handwoven by skilled artisans in Kashmir. We source directly from artisan communities and each product is certified for authenticity, often with a Geographical Indication (GI) tag issued by the Craft Development Institute (CDI) in Srinagar, which guarantees its origin and purity.
Authentic Pashmina can be identified by its soft, light feel and slightly uneven handwoven texture when held against the light. A certified shawl will also come with a unique, verifiable GI tag or certificate that you can check online on the official Kashmir Pashmina secure portal.
We highly recommend professional dry cleaning only to preserve the delicate fibers. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Store your shawl folded neatly in a breathable cotton or silk pouch, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not use plastic bags, as they can trap moisture.
Pashmina is a specific, ultra-fine type of cashmere (12-15 microns) exclusive to the Changthangi goat of the Himalayas. While “cashmere” can refer to goat wool from various regions and is often machine-processed, “Pashmina” specifically refers to the traditional art of hand-spinning and handweaving this superior-grade wool in Kashmir.
The high price reflects the rarity of the raw material and the labor-intensive manual process, which can take weeks or months to complete a single shawl. The intricate craftsmanship and the time invested by skilled artisans make it a premium luxury item and a potential heirloom piece.
No, the fine undercoat is naturally shed by the Changthangi goats during their molting season in the spring. Herders gently comb off the remaining loose hair, and the goats are not harmed in the process.
