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 fibre obtained from the hair of the Capra hircus goat. These goats live across Nepal, Pakistan and India, and locally the fibre is used to make hand-woven shawls. In fact, pashminas have been a fine and elegant item of clothing ever since ancient times.
It is 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 important occasions.
Our online shop 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
Made in our family's factory with modern machinery and finished by hand, this model is 70% cashmere and 30% silk.
It is a useful accessory on cold days or for an elegant evening out, and it adds comfort, practicality and refinement to any outfit. Available in several colours 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 a very light pashmina that is also warm and soft.
It is suited to every season of the year and makes a good gift. A quality product made with attention and care.
