Pashmina silk is undeniably one of the hottest must-have accessories today. For centuries now, silk has always been associated with nobility, status and high class elegance among the royalties in the East. Now, virtually everyone all over the globe dons the pashmina silk for added elegance and glamour.
Interwoven together, silk and pashmina create an intricate, beautiful masterpiece that is truly as soft as and more beguiling than the plain Pashmina shawls and scarves. Pashmina silk is a combination of silk and pashmina which give it a more satiny finish. Such a combination also makes the shawls stronger and more durable.
Some of the best pashmina silk are produced from Kashmir, India, which is the home of the mountain goat capra hircus. These goats live at an altitude of approximately 10,000 in the harsh temperate regions of the Himalayans. To insulate themselves from the cold, these goats produce fine, soft hair in their underbellies which are culled to make the finest wool in the world. From this fine fleece, women, artisans and craftsmen make the most beautiful pashmina silk on earth.
Pashmina silk is available in many different colors. These shawls can be worn in any occasion. Usually though, pashmina silk comes in shades of pastel such as peach and silver gray, cream, light blue and silver grey although they are also available in bright and brilliant shades such as royal blue, burgundy and black with red tassels, among others.
