What is Pashmina? Pashmina, a fabric obtained from Himalayan goats unique to the Himalayan region of Nepal, Tibet and India, is the softest wool in nature. The wool is as light and warm as it is soft. Unlike other types of wool which are bulky and scratchy, pashmina is feather light, soft, and smooth, giving you the warmth of a heavy coat with the feel of a wispy cloud.
What are One-Ply and Two-Ply shawls? Plies are strands of a yarn twisted together to make one piece of yarn. Two-ply is thicker than one-ply. We normally use one-ply yarn which are lighter and finer than two-ply.
What are the contents of Pashmina and Silk in your Pashminas? We usually made pashminas in two variations in content. 
  • 70% Pashmina / 30% Silk
  • 60% Pashmina / 40% Silk

All our pashmina shawls are hand made by skilled craftmen which involves intricate hand processes. This makes it difficult to keep the content exactly same from shawl to shawl, a little variation is a quality of a handmade shawls.

What are regular sizes? We can make shawls in any size if ordered in volume. But for small quantities (less than 100), it will cost more because the loom need to be readjusted.

Our regular sizes are

  • 36" x 81"
  • 28" x 80"
  • 12" x 60"
What types of fringes do you make? We make variety of fringes including twisted, beaded, interweaven to make into patterns like diamond, net, or as required. The fringes are usually 2 to 4 inches long.
What color standard do you follow?. Does the color on your website exactly match with the final product? We follow Pantone Color chart, and we do have our own color chart which contains small pieces of pashmina in different colors.

All our shawls are hand dyed, so a color variation of +/- 5% in natural.

The color you see on you computer monitor also depends on the color depth of your monitor, so it may not reflect the true color.

Do you make beaded and embroidered shawls? Yes we do make beaded and embroidered shawls. We have some regular patterns and we can also do other patterns if designs are provided.
What other pashmina products you make? Currently we are making shawl, stole, scarf and muffler. But we are open for any custom order of a product.
Do you have a show room in US? Currently we do not have a show room, but we are looking for retailers around the world. However, you can contact our representative in US for further information.
