There is much confusion as to exactly what the term Pashmina actually means. It refers to a type of soft, warm and luxurious cashmere wool from the underbelly of the Himalayan Mountain Goat. Pashmina comes from Pashm, the Persian word for "wool", and refers to the underfur of certain Tibetan animals, particularly goats, commonly used for the making of shawls.
Modern use has trimmed the full term "pashmina scarf/shawl" down to just "pashmina", so pashmina is often used refer to any garment made of a mixture of silk and cashmere.
Our pashmina scarves all come from natural fibers, and unlike other retailers who operate in our price range, we do not sell or stock anything that contains artificial material such as viscose, acrylic, or polyester. Artificial pashmina is nothing like the real thing, with less body, poor heat retention, and low durability. Please be sure you avoid these faux pashminas, they're not worth a penny!
