Pashmina is not a blend of materials, but the purest and finest form of cashmere. While cashmere is produced worldwide in varying qualities, genuine pashmina comes exclusively from the fine undercoat of the Changthangi goat and is produced in limited quantities through traditional processing.

The wool comes from the high regions of Ladakh in the Himalayas. There, the Changthangi goats live in extreme climatic conditions. The fine undercoat is carefully combed out exclusively during the natural molting season in spring and forms the basis of genuine Pashmina.
