“Supporting a timeless, traditional form of art”
The difference between Cashmere Pashmina Group and many other companies is our sensitivity to the need to support the artisans who live in the remote regions of Kashmir in the Himalayan Mountains. Since the high altitudes and terrain in this area make it difficult for the production of vegetation, over the years the Kashmiri people adapted by refining and passing down through the generations the fine art of weaving, embroidering, carpet-weaving, papier mache, etc. By offering work to these craftsmen, the cottage village flourishes and the ancient art of hand-looming and delicate embroidery work is not lost to modernization. Cashmere Pashmina Group prides itself on cultivating some of the finest embroideries and exquisite weave work on cashmere fabrics. Interestingly, most of the finest embroidery work is executed by males, who traditionally have more time to devote to the art than the women. Some of our finer embroideries can take a few months to several years to complete. While we promote the artistry of weaving, we do not allow child labor or cruelty to the goats, from which the cashmere and pashmina wool are sheared.

100% Handmade
We prefer the traditional process of ironing the individual shawls as opposed to the more modern techniques of electric iron press machines.
In this way, we contribute toward the livelihood of the villagers who depend on the work.
We hope these small steps taken will aid the resettlement of those talented artisans in the region.
We believe it will support and fortify the ancient art of weaving and embroidery while rejuvenating while supporting these families financially. Your purchase helps us to keep this art from becoming extinct while providing much needed support to underdeveloped areas.

Eco- Friendly Material
We insist in using only eco-friendly Azo-free dyes, which are not harmful to the environment but leave a deep impact of color. We offer eco-friendly products – a completely “green” line of cashmere products. Our Green line is comprised of wools that are left in its natural state, or ivory color. No dyes are used on these items and all embroidery and crewel work are made with natural wool or silk threads that are done by hand and usually signed by the artist. All shipping packaging, shopping bags and tags for the company are made from recyclable materials. We believe that every step we take towards living a ‘greener’ life will help to the lower the carbon footprint the company leaves on the ecology.
