The story of the shawls begins with the Changthangi goat, native to the high altitudes of Ladakh. Its winter coat, known as Pashm, is the soul of the shawl. This incredibly fine and soft fiber is hand-combed. Skilled artisans spin the Pashm into yarn, often by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

The palette of a Pashmina shawl is as diverse as the land it hails from. Natural dyes derived from plants and minerals infuse the fabric with vibrant hues.

Pashmina shawls are heirlooms passed down through generations, carrying memories and emotions within their threads.

Contemporary designers are incorporating modern sensibilities, experimenting with bolder colors, playful patterns, and even fusion styles. This ensures the legacy of Pashmina remains relevant, captivating hearts across generations and cultures.

Pashmina shawls traditionally come packed in papier mâché boxes from J&K, that are renowned for their exquisite beauty and craftsmanship. These boxes are handmade using a mixture of paper pulp, glue, and other natural materials. Each box is a unique work of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir. These boxes are not only functional but also serve as decorative items in their own right.
