Pashmina Wool Shawl - Current

An incredibly soft shawl offering extraordinary warmth and luxury. One of a kind, this piece is an elegant timeless heirloom that you will cherish over and over again.

Made with pashmina, the purest form of cashmere, famous for its warmth and softness. This particular pashmina from Ladakh is rare and sought after, constituting less than 0.1% of global pashmina production. It takes the entire annual growth of three pashmina goats to make just one shawl. The fibres naturally moult in the arrival of spring and the goats are not harmed during any of the process of harvesting the pashmina.

This fine fibre is handspun, handwoven and naturally dyed by the skilled artisans of Lena Ladakh, a slow textile label where each stage of production is carried by hand. Artisans use the traditional whorl and whorl-less spindles to work with these fibres. The women spin 25-35g of these fine fibres in one day. Half of these single plied spun yarns are then hand twisted into double plies for their warps. The skeins are then naturally dyed before being woven on a flying shuttle loom.
