CASHMERE (PASHMINA) SHAWL, from CASHMERE PASHMINA GROUP, IN 55 VIBRANT COLORS List Price: $199.00 Sale Price: $24.99

Unfazed by the scientific age, pashmina shawls are hand spun the same way it has been done for centuries. The hairs are gathered from the Himalayan goat called Hircus, which lives at high altitudes of anywhere from 12 to 14000 feet in the mountains. The pashmina is gathered by hand, stored and combed by nomadic herders. The threads are then hand woven on handlooms over a silk wrap, which gives the fabric resilience. Once the fabric is loomed, each piece is hand dyed in open vats. Afterwards it is given to the different craftsmen for hand-embroidery, beading and /or printing. Since these shawls are woven from the finest quality of cashmere (pashmina) and silk they are incredibly soft and feel absolutely luxurious to the touch. Our shawls can be worn as a wrap or a scarf, depending on how it is folded or unfolded. Measuring in at 78 inches long and 28 inches wide each shawl is expertly finished with 2 to 2.5 inch long hand-knotted tassels. The fabric itself is comprised of approximately 70% Cashmere (Pashmina) and 30% Silk. Based on the combination of cashmere with the silk, the fabric is extremely versatile and resonates with color. Each shawl is hand- loomed in Nepal and India and is offered in a wide selection of vibrant colors. We highly recommend dry cleaning.
