Yours Elegantly The Story Of Pashmina Wool Which Became A Brand Pashminas have always been unique in their own special way. Coming from a very significant ancient period they have been a reference for defining status. ‘Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani’ was known to first discover goats that produced soft wool in the land of Ladakh and present it to the king. It is also believed that he established the pioneer of pashmina industry in Kashmir. Although there are contradicting stories to this, today out of everything one thing is sure that Pashmina Shawls have grown to become a brand.

Pashmina in Ancient Period The journey which started from the lands of Kashmir grew to reach the Eastern countries where in no time they were more than just a wrap to any women. Prior to any fashionable changes made, it was also produced in the form of socks and blankets. Pure pashmina has an extremely warm nature, it is because of its thermo conductivity and that is the reason they have always been preferred in cold season. Thus, the warmth and soft, silk nature of these shawls make it equally important in cold countries like USA and UK.


Pashmina in the Modern Culture The online stores based in the US, are selling pashmina shawls, wraps, scarves, and many other products in abundance. As the time evolved, pashmina and silk were blended together, as pure pashminas are too delicate to be preserved in the modern world. While the fashion industry has always been innovative with the ideas, there came another evolution in the history of pashmina i.e gowns and dresses, made from this soft woven fabric. Preserving Tips The secret tip to preserve the blended pashmina products is to soak it in warm water, wash it with a mild shampoo and let it dry under the sun without twisting. This will protect the texture of pashmina for a long term. Significance of Quality Thus, this indicates how western, as well as the Indian culture, is crazy about Pashmina. It took the brilliant art of craftsmen to weave, stitch and print beautiful patterns like aari, sozni, and papier-mache.

Looking upon the history of pashmina it is actually a pashm yarn but is now used worldwide as a brand name for fashion Pashminas that that department stores carry ranging from $10 to $100 shawls.
