Pashmina Shawls

Soft gold

High on the Changthang plateau the Changthangi goat grows the world's finest undercoat. Gathered each spring, it is hand-spun on the yinder, woven on wooden looms and embroidered in Sozni and Tilla.

The craft of Pashmina

The craft

The fibre is too fine for machines. It is hand-carded and spun, often by women in artisan households, then woven in silence — warp by weft — by weavers who let their hands tell the story.

A true Pashmina is not only worn. It is kept, gifted and cherished — an heirloom passed from generation to generation. No two are ever the same.

Customisation

A shawl for your story

Choose the base colour and weave, then Sozni, Tilla or Kani work — monograms, heritage motifs or a design drawn from your own story.

The intricacy of your design shapes the timeline — up to eleven months for all-over embroidery.
