Heritage meets contemporary sophistication in a stole which exhibits the beauty of Kashmiri handweaving in an ideal balance of stripes and checks. A balanced palette is produced by the interaction of black and gray, with black adding depth and classic elegance and grey signifying serene sophistication. Bold stripes and structured checks are uniquely combined in the pattern to give the stole individuality and rhythm. Each strand is meticulously produced by artisans, using only the finest Pashmina fibers. The item has an unparalleled tenderness, warmth, and genuineness owing to being crafted manually for days together. This stole is an heirloom-worthy addition to any wardrobe, combining traditional motifs with modern design, making it perfect for both formal and informal settings.

About the Craft
The art of Pashmina making involves a series of meticulous steps. It all starts in Ladakh where the down fibre of the changthangi goat is collected, cleaned, and sorted. The fibre is then hand spun by womenfolk of the valley - which is the most painstaking labour of love. To spin fibre for one Pashmina stole, a single artisan takes atleast 2 months, with just a handful of fibre spun per day. Even this takes them 8-10 hours everyday. Spinning is followed by weaving, where men mount the delicate spun fibre onto wooden handlooms and create heavenly soft and lightweight Pashmina stoles. These are later handed over to specialists for further embellishing like dyeing, embroidery, or prints

Pashmina Care
Always dry clean your pure Pashmina for the safest care. But if hand washing, use cold water and Pashmina/Cashmere shampoo. Do not wring or twist. Always squeeze the water out gently. Dry your Pashmina by placing it between two clean towels and rolling them together. Air dry, do not hang. Do not place it under direct sunlight for drying. 
Store your Pashmina at a clean, dry place. To keep it safe from moths, fold it neatly, wrap it in a muslin cloth, and store it with neem or cedar. Pashmina will last for generations if handled with care.

Before you receive your Pashmina, Please Note:
Authentic Pashmina is woven and embroidered by artisans manually. There can be irregularities in weave or embroidery showing the meticulous manual work of artisans. Note that these are not flaws but marks of authenticity that make your piece truly one of a kind
