Nepalese Handwoven Pure Cashmere Pashmina Shawl/Stole, Check & Plain Designs, Choice of Colours

£25.50

Handwoven in Nepal from the finest cashmere, taken from the neck and underbelly of the Changra goat, a breed that thrives high in the Himalayas. The cold mountain climate gives the goats an exceptionally fine undercoat, making this delicate wool both incredibly soft and extremely warm.

The Kathmandu Valley has a long history of weaving, dating back centuries. Its location on the trade routes between India and Tibet allowed ideas and techniques to be exchanged, shaping local weaving traditions. Over time, the weavers developed their own distinctive styles, and while modern methods and materials have arrived, traditional hand-weaving remains part of the valley’s cultural identity.

Available in a choice of designs:

  • Brown and beige check

  • Brown and beige check (design 2)

  • Brown, grey and white check

  • Brown, grey and white mixed check

  • Browns and white

  • Pink

As each stole is handwoven, every piece is individual, with small variations that reflect the work of the weaver.
