The word pashmina said to have come from the ancient Persian word “pashm” which means wool. Nepal is gaining international recognition for best quality pashmina produts. Cultivated from a rare breed of goats found only at 12,000 to around 14,500 feet above sea level in the Himalayan regions of Nepal the pashmina is considered the best texture of wearing. The goats from where the pashmina comes are called the “capra hircus.” In order for these goats to protect themselves from the harsh temperate climate, the goats have developed short, thin and shiny inner coats on their underbelly over time. These short inner hairs have proven to be the best natural insulation. When these goats shed their hair during spring, these are collected to form the pashmina.
