Our Pashminas
Our pashmina wool comes from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, which is native to the Himalayan region of Nepal. These goats, well-adapted to the cold climate, naturally shed their undercoat during the spring moulting season, allowing artisans to collect the precious fibres through gentle combing, ensuring no harm to the animals.
Once gathered, the wool undergoes a meticulous cleaning and sorting process. Hand-cleaned to remove impurities, the wool is carefully sorted to separate the finest fibres from the coarser ones. These fibres are then hand-spun into yarn using traditional spinning wheels, preserving their delicate nature.
This intricate weaving process results in the lightweight yet warm classic pashmina. The dyes to achieve our colour palette are then carefully added to maintain the pashmina's softness. The final touch involves washing the woven pashmina to cleanse and soften the fabric further. Brushing the material enhances its luxurious texture, culminating in the exquisite pashminas that are a hallmark of Nepali craftsmanship.

Pashmina Care
The more our cashmere pashminas are worn, the softer and more comfortable they become and that’s why we love them. Light enough to be a summer shawl, warm enough to be a winter scarf and yet so fine that the true pashmina can be threaded through a wedding ring.
But no matter how fine or how loved your scarf may be, there comes that dreaded moment in any cashmere love affair when one realises that it’s time that your favourite item had a dip in the tub.
It’s important to stress that dry cleaning is the preferred method of cleaning your pashmina. Although we’ll explain how your cashmere can be cleaned by hand, it’s best to only do this once in a while and only if you feel completely confident doing so! Your pashmina is delicate and needs to be treated with the upmost love and respect.
In the event that there’s no way to get to the dry-cleaners, we’ve compiled a few tips about how to care for your cashmere in the event of an emergency
Back to Basics
The golden rule, of course, is never place your cashmere in the washing machine. The fibres of the pashmina cashmere are too fine to be handled by any sort of machine. It’s back to basics with these babies and hand-washing is the way forward in order for your products to maintain that ‘just bought’ look. Washing machines are far too harsh on cashmere and might cause it to start looking ‘fluffy’.
Be Delicate
Your cashmere is strong but she’s also delicate. Make sure to only use luke warm/cold water when washing. We would suggest cleaning out a basin and filling with water or finding a separate wash bowl to ensure that the washing bowl is clean. With most Cashmere products we would say it’s always best to turn them inside out- of course, this will work for our gloves, but not for our scarves!
Get Soap Wise
In terms of what to wash with, you’ll need to use the most gentle products around. Think of your cashmere as your baby and then you’ll be on the right track. A very mild, un-perfumed soap is best. Do not use fabric softener or any cleaning products that contain bleach. Products such as Laundress cashmere soap work well but baby shampoo is the cheaper alternative and works just the same.
Wait till the soap is completely dissolved in the water and then give your pashmina a gentle wash- no brisk rubbing or scrubbing!
Rolling
Never EVER wring or squeeze your cashmere products because you’ll risk them losing their shape, which isn’t what we want! Lay your product flat on a clean dry, towel and either leave to dry or roll it in a towel like a burrito, squeezing out as much water as you can. Then it’s best to lay it on another clean dry towel upon a flat surface until the excess water has dried. Avoid laying the cashmere near a heater or in the sun when it has been washed/gets wet as it can cause the cashmere to discolour.
Once dry, you may iron your product with a warm iron but we would advise putting either a piece of tissue paper or cloth between the pashmina and the iron.
It might sound all too simple but these golden rules will help save your favourite cashmere pashmina so that it lasts a lifetime.

Our Pashminas
Our pashmina wool comes from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, which is native to the Himalayan region of Nepal. These goats, well-adapted to the cold climate, naturally shed their undercoat during the spring moulting season, allowing artisans to collect the precious fibres through gentle combing, ensuring no harm to the animals.
Once gathered, the wool undergoes a meticulous cleaning and sorting process. Hand-cleaned to remove impurities, the wool is carefully sorted to separate the finest fibres from the coarser ones. These fibres are then hand-spun into yarn using traditional spinning wheels, preserving their delicate nature.
This intricate weaving process results in the lightweight yet warm classic pashmina. The dyes to achieve our colour palette are then carefully added to maintain the pashmina's softness. The final touch involves washing the woven pashmina to cleanse and soften the fabric further. Brushing the material enhances its luxurious texture, culminating in the exquisite pashminas that are a hallmark of Nepali craftsmanship.
