The cashmere used in this piece was hand-spun in Srinagar. Traditionally a women’s craft, pashmina is hand-spun on a wooden spinning wheel called a charkha, but this practice is unfortunately disappearing as a result of efforts to reduce production costs. By choosing this piece, you are helping to preserve traditional craftsmanship and support artisan communities.
