The Pashima Story

Pashmina, from the Persian word for wool, is popularly known in the west as cashmere wool, from the old spelling of Kashmir.
The fine wool comes from the undercoat of Himalayan mountain sheep, raised by semi-nomadic herders.
It yields 3-8 ounces of fiber per year.  The Tibetan plateau provides the ideal for environment growth.

The fiber is exceptionally absorbent, and it dyes very easily and deeply. In recent years, pashmina shawl has been in fashion all over the world for its luxurious rarity, its incomparable softness warmth and durability.

CARE FOR PASHMINA


Pashmina gets softer with frequent use. Cleaning pashmina is easy. Although dry-cleaning Pashminas, the chemicals used in long run effect it. We thus recommend washing in cold or warm water using mild, natural soap or shampoo. Rinse until water runs clear and then drip dry only.

Do not wring or twist. If it needs pressing, iron over a damp of cloth.
