Where do Cashmere Pashmina Shawls Come from?

•April 9, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Originally crafted in Persia—the area we now know as Iran—the Pashmina shawl gets its name from its fibers.  The best and most authentic cashmere Pashmina shawls and scarves still are woven from hand-spun fibers made from the wool of the Pashminian goat.  Naturally, the fabric is the foundation of the shawl’s fashion and function; the quality of the fabric and the intricacy of the weave also determine the Pashmina shawl’s price.  A simple scarf or shawl for everyday use reasonably may cost about $35.  An heirloom Pashmina, intricately woven from the most exquisite fibers may cost several thousand dollars.  The finest Pashmina, however, sets the standard for “investment dressing,” because a well-made Pashmina may pass from mother to daughter over four or five generations, never showing signs of wear, and never going out of style.
