Stunning pure cashmere pashmina, hand-embroidered with intricate vines of leaves and flowers in Mint green and Pink thread by skilled craftsmen in Kashmir. A more unusual design using stripes of 'Sozni' embroidery along the length of the shawl.
This pashmina was finished in January 2021 and took more than 20 months in the journey from gathering the cashmere to the finished product. Once the embroidery is finished the shawl is carefully checked and washed in crisp Himalayan water.

The cashmere from this region is considered amongst the best in the world, it is combed from the chest and underbelly of the goats. and is light and warm with amazing insulating properties, the fibres are extremely fine, varying between 9 - 16 microns.
