Kashmir's crafts are not souvenirs - they are the distilled skill of generations.
Pashmina: The Fibre of Kings
Pashmina comes from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat at altitudes above 4,500 metres. Individual fibres measure 12-16 microns - giving pashmina its extraordinary warmth and softness.
Ring Test: A genuine pashmina shawl can be passed through a finger ring. Burn Test: real pashmina burns like hair - slowly, with a protein smell, crushable ash.
