History of pashmina

Where did the Pashmina shawls originate? The name itself is a race of mountain goats found in the Himalayas. Goats are found high up in the regions of Nepal, Tibet, India and other parts of Central Asia. These animals have a short inner layer called Pashmina, and this wool is what is used to make shawls and Pashmina scarves.

Over the years, manufacturers have varied the fibers included in Pashmina shawls, especially if they want them to soften. Silk and cashmere fibers are combined with wool to vary the texture of the fabric. Depending on your personal preference, you can buy a Pashmina shawl that has 50%, 60% or 70% cashmere, with the remaining material made of silk. There are also shawls made of 100% cashmere. So, in short, the history of pashmina goes back to Napoleon's centuries more than 200 years ago, when he introduced a pashmina shawl to his wife. She was so pleased with the shawl that she asked Napoleon to buy more so she could share them with her fashion society friends. Pashmina remains an essential part of modern wardrobe and popular wedding gifts and bridesmaids, demonstrating the durability and widespread appeal of this classic accessory.

Top quality, timeless elegance

A classic image of the elegant and modern woman is one that wears a business suit with a scarf around the neck. For years, scarves have become the best accessory for women who want to add a touch of class and elegance to their outfits. But not all scarves are the same. There are 100% silk scarves from designer brands that are preferred by fashionistas, while there are the more traditional Pashmina shawls that are used as scarves for those who like a bit of history with the garment they wear. Here, we'll see what makes Pashmina shawls such an elegant and timeless accessory, and what you must do to prolong one's life.

Pashmina shawls, the basics

Why are Pashmina shawls indispensable for all fashion-conscious women? 

First of all, this garment that folds as an accessory is ultra versatile. During the summer, you can wear it around your head like a scarf or headband. If you go to the beach, you can use the Pashmina shawl as a protector that you can tie around your chest or around your waist. During the coldest months of the year, you can wear the shawl around your neck in many ways. The tighter the knot around your throat, the warmer it will feel.

Second, Pashmina shawls are known all over the world for their highest quality. Apart from shawls, you can buy Pashmina scarves, stoles, mufflers, sweaters, blankets and other products. Depending on where you will buy such products, you are obliged to find those that are hand-woven by the traditional weavers of the Kathmandu Valley. These ethnic groups and families have been weaving Pashmina fabrics for centuries, and this is the tradition incorporated every time you wear a Pashmina shawl.

Additional Tips When Buying Pashmina Shawls

If you are in the process of increasing your collection of Pashmina shawls, here are some tips you can take into account:

- Choose a color that matches your skin tone.

There are plenty of Pashmina patterns, designs and colors to choose from. If you're using one close to your skin, it's best to choose a flattering shade for your skin tone. But if you want to use Pashmina to brighten up an outfit that would otherwise be boring, you can go ahead and choose a brightly colored design. 

- If you want to have an authentic Pashmina experience, make sure you don't buy an imitation product.

There are a lot of counterfeit products, especially with a product as common as a scarf. To make sure you are buying an authentic Pashmina product, look for the 100% KACHEMIR label.

How to care for your Pashmina shawls?

Finally, to prolong the life of your Pashmina shawls, use a mild detergent and wash them by hand as much as possible. The delicate fabric will be ruined if you run them in a washer or dryer cycle, so hand washing or dry cleaning is the best choice.
