The beautiful vale of Kashmir has always been famed for its craftsmanship. The weaving of tapestry shawls was first introduced into the valley from Turkistan, by Zain-ul-Abdin, the ruler of Kashmir, in the 15th century. Production benefited from the patronage of the Mughal rulers like Akbar and his successors, who wore these shawls, and also because of patronage of local government.
There are literally hundreds of wonderful uses for a pashmina shawl from a visit to the opera to and evening walk in the park, from lunch at the Ritz to dinner on the patio, from a sunrise on a Mediterranean beach to a sunset on the Swiss Alps. It can be elegantly worn from autumn right through to spring as well as on those cool summer evenings and is so fine and light it can be folded up and neatly carried in your handbag or briefcase.
A pashmina shawl will provide you with many years of pleasurable wear as well as making the perfect gift.
Cashmere/Pashmina Definition
There is much confusion regarding the terms cashmere and pashmina. Traditionally, "Pashmina" is the Persian word for pashm meaning finest wool fibre, the "soft gold" king of fibre’s.
Pashmina is the original term for the pashm, once it has been spun into yarn. However, since Napoleons time, Europeans have used the word Cashmere to describe this fibre whilst the term pashmina has been used to describe the traditional shawl or stole that is made of either pure cashmere, or a mix of cashmere and silk, and is draped over the shoulders by Nobles and Royalty. Pure Pashmina is a luxury even in India so local weavers combine the Pashmina fibre with silk to impart durability and lustre to the material.
