Accessories - Pashminas

Pashmina is the finest cashmere wool in the world. It comes from the Ibex that lives 10,000 feet and higher in the very towering peaks of the Himalayan Mountains. In the winter, to protect them from extreme could, these animals grow an extra fine inner layer of down material, which is called Pashmina. In the spring, the animals rub their bellies on shrubs and this down is collected and spun into the fine Pashmina yarn that is woven into the luxurious shawls we wear in the West.

Raj Mirpuri shawls are spun and woven in Kashmir. For centuries the people of Kashmir have been perfecting the art of shawl making. Once woven, each piece is individually hand dyed. The results: a delicate, vibrant shawl that is becoming an essential in your wardrobe or an accessory to your home. The quality, durability and suppleness of an Raj Mirpuri Pashmina is unparalleled by any other in the world.
