The collection of wraps and shawls for women

is exclusively made from Baby Pashmina. .As the name suggests, Baby Pashmina is obtained from baby goats. In other words, this is the fabric that comes from the first combing of a capra hircus mountain goat. Kashperia sources all its Baby Pashmina wool from the Changthang region of Ladakh in the Himalayas. Each fiber has an average diameter of 12.5 micros making it one of the finest yarns available in the market.

This is an extremely rare material and we at Kashperia every year make limited quantities in this collection as it takes the fleece of approximately 18 baby goats to make one shawl as the average yield of the yarn that can be used for spinning is 16 grams per animal.

A major difference between Pashmina and Baby Pashmina is the tapering. Baby Pashmina has one end of the fiber tapered which makes the yarn finer and the wool softer. This is where it makes a big difference in terms of the wraps and shawls that we make for women, with the final product being softer, brighter and more importantly lighter.
Once the fabric is ready our skilled artisans work for months and in some cases years together to work on a single shawl. Hand embroidery is done with silk and the finest threads are used to make sure every small detail of the design is visible. This makes our shawls for women the finest in the world.
