The Pashmina: An Essential Accessory
The word pashmina is commonly used to indicate a particularly refined type of cashmere shawl, but the actual term refers to the textile fiber obtained from the hair of the Capra hircus goat. These goats live across Nepal, Pakistan and India, and locally the fiber is used to make hand-woven shawls. In fact, pashminas have been an extremely fine and elegant item of clothing ever since ancient times.
It's still used to make scarves, stoles and shawls today, and it has become increasingly popular in current fashion. The fact that it is light, warm and enveloping makes it ideal for both winter and mid-season. The pashmina, as we use the word in everyday language, is a versatile accessory that can easily be worn with different styles and even on the most important occasions.
Our online store carries two different models: a cashmere and silk pashmina and a woven cashmere pashmina. Let's take a look at the differences.
Cashmere and silk pashmina
Handcrafted in our workshop with the help of the most modern technology, without neglecting the hand-finished work, this model is made of 70% cashmere and 30% silk.
It's a perfect accessory on cold days or for an elegant evening out, and it adds comfort, practicality and refinement to any outfit. Available in several colors so you can pair it with different styles.
Woven cashmere pashmina
The pure cashmere pashmina is different from the rest of the Dalle Piane garments, because it is woven rather than knitted, a process that makes it possible to obtain an extremely light pashmina that is also warm and soft.
It's perfect for every season of the year and an excellent gift idea. A quality product made with attention and care.
