Pashmina refers to a type of cashmere wool and textiles made from cashmere. The name comes from pashmineh, from the Persian meaning "made from wool". For hundreds of years, cashmere have been manufacturered in Kashmir and Nepal.

Our cashmere are made with the finest grade of cashmere wool from the ultra soft undercoat of famous Changra goats in Nepal.

The test for a quality pashmina is warmth and feel. Pashmina and Cashmere are derived from the "capra hircus" mountain goat. One distinct difference between Pashmina and generic Cashmere is the fibre diameter. Pashmina fibres are finer and thinner (11-14 microns) than generic cashmere fibre (15-19 microns),^[8] and therefore, ideal for making light weight apparel like fine scarves. Today, however, the word "Pashmina" has been used too liberally and many scarves made from natural or synthetic fiber are sold as Pashmina creating confusion in the market.^{[citation needed]}. The exorbitant price of a Pashmina shawl is due to the quantum of expert craftsmanship that goes into creating each shawl and the rarity of the Pashmina wool - the wool is used in an authentic Kashmiri Pashmina comes from the Changthangi breed of the capra hircus goat and this breed constitutes less than 0.1% of global Cashmere production.
