PASHMINA LOVE

"EVERY PASHMINA HAS A STORY TO TELL......."

GLORIOUS HERITAGE OF KASHMIRI CRAFTS

Only when you have known true beauty can you create true beauty, thus the beautiful valley of Kashmir and its mesmerising tryst with the finest arts and crafts doesn’t come as a surprise. Aptly heralded by ancient poets as Heaven on Earth, scenic beauty inspires every aspect of its artistic tradition. With an ancient love for handicraft that has been nurtured in the valley for centuries, Kashmir is globally known for its exquisite carpets, woollen textiles, stunning embroidery, and papier- mache among other traditional arts. But among all these coveted crafts, there is one that has enamoured the world and maintained its stature - The Kashmiri Pashmina.

 

KASHMIR’S LOVE FOR PASHMINA

Derived from the word Pashm meaning soft gold, Pashmina is an intrinsic part of Kashmir’s tapestry tradition. Nurtured by generations, the process of weaving Pashmina is a labour of love as Pashmina fibres commonly known as Cashmere are painstakingly processed by human hand. The threads produced are so delicate that they cannot bear the touch of mechanical processes and yet again have to be woven manually. Rightfully so Pashmina ( cashmere) is known as a symbol of enduring love and the timelessness of this weave makes it an ideal heirloom that brings back innumerable memories.
