Pashmina is considered one of the best craftmanships in the world. Yet Pashmina is still relatively unknown in the Netherlands. What is Pashmina anyway? Pashmina is the premium variant of the well-known Cashmere.
Pashmina comes from a rare mountain goat that lives in the Himalayas at 5000 meters altitude. The altitude and extreme cold in the unforgiving mountainous area, stimulate the growth of the undercoat of this goat. The fiber of his coat is eight times warmer than sheep's wool and only 12 microns wide, making it about 5 times finer than human hair.
The wool is so incredibly thin that you can't weave it mechanically. Pashmina is therefore always a product of true craftsmanship: only highly skilled crafworkers can transform the scarf with their refined hand weaving techniques into a scarf of royal allure.
Many an emperor and royalty was fascinated by the warmth of this scarf. For example, Napoleon Bonaparte was also a big fan. In the 16th century he spoiled his wife Josefine with these wonderfully warm scarves.
Pashmina is one of the lightest, softest and warmest types of wool. Not only is the scarf perfect for the winter, it is also ideal for the summer.
Who are you spoiling this season? Give yourself or someone else this particularly warm scarf as a gift. Heat guaranteed.
