This item is NOT MASS PRODUCED, but it takes 4-7 days to finish this amazing wrap. We have kept our production intentionally very small and many scarves are unique and one of a kind.
For the last 3 years, our team has been spending the bulk of their time in Nepal and India collaborating with local artisans, incorporating centuries’ old handicrafts and creating the most beautiful cashmere scarves and accessories.
Our line pays homage to the colors of (Jaipur pink, blue, curry yellow, cardamom green, etc.) as we attempt to capture their essence.
While esthetics, function and price are important to us and to the consumer, we are keen on offering handmade environmentally sustainable products at the same time gaining respect and appreciation for other cultures. Our products are all made under Fair Trade conditions. 1998
Commonly asked questions:
- What is Pashmina? The word pashmina (cashmere) has been used and abused for years and most of what is sold as pashmina (cashmere) in the market is usually highly adulterated. It comes from the Persian word “pashm” which means “wool or warmth.” In fact, cashmere and pashmina refer to the wool from the same goat, except pashmina is the very finest of the separated wool, having a diameter of 12-14 microns, and the goats mostly live in the highest altitudes in Kashmir and Tibet. (human hair is 75 microns). In ancient times, the times of Moghul emperors, pashmina wear was a matter of pride of its owner, similar to jewelry
-
Why is cashmere so expensive? Cashmere is the highest class of all natural fibers. It is warmer, softer and lighter than all the natural fibers. A goat only produces about 50 grams washed cashmere annually. A ladies sweater usually weighs between 150 grams - 300 grams, that is the cashmere from 3-6 goats. A man's sweater usually weighs about 250-450 grams, that is the cashmere from 5-9 goats! Furthermore, the production process is complicated, a sweater requires more than 20 processes of production, expensive special equipment and a lot of manpower
-
How come some cashmere is more expensive than others? Some manufacturers use coarser cashmere. In the raw material market, the price difference between high quality cashmere (fineness under 16.8 micron, fiber length above 32mm made in upper and middle reaches of Yellow River in China) and coarser cashmere is very big, the price of the latter is 2/3 or even 1/2 of the former. Some manufacturers even mix camel hair or chemical fibers.
-
Last but not least, we work with FAIR TRADE organizations (greater equity in international trade) and commit to its prescribed standards (laws governing child labor, forced labor, discrimination, fair wages, etc.) We carefully choose our trading partners, do hands-on research and have personally visited the production sites.
Luxury cannot be faked and quality is non-negotiable. (Authentic high end) cashmere scarves are a wise investment (if properly cared for).

A word about colors: We try our very best to capture the exact color of the item we are selling. Our computer screens are carefully calibrated (via a software called Spyder3 Eli*te) and re-calibrated monthly. We cannot be responsible how the color translates on your screen or how you might interpret the shade. There are literally 100s of variations of fuchsia. We use the same name the weavers use when coloring the scarves.
This is the best we can describe these colors. If you are ambiguous about your choice, please do not bid. We are NOT responsible if you perceived the colors to be different or if the colors don't suit you.
The visual sensation of color is very subjective. Each person experiences the sensation of color differently because many variables influence our color perception. Even if we did all see color the same way, we would still interpret and describe it differently based upon our individual life experience.
Disclaimer: On some computer screens colors MAY appear differently. This is due to the color calibration on your monitor and your Internet Browser. We disclaim all responsibility!
