What is Pashmina

Pashmina Passion, the Australian expert in luxury Pashmina Scarves, Cashmere Shawls and Panama Hats.

Pashmina is the most luxurious of natural fibres. It is the finest, lightest, softest and warmest of all natural fibres, yet it can be worn all year round.

What is Pashmina

The word ‘Pashmina’ comes from the Persian word ‘Pashm’, meaning underbelly wool of mountain goats.

These Pashmina goats are found only in the Himalayan region of Asia and live at altitudes of 14,000 ft and above. The high altitude, genetic makeup and mountain diet enable the goats to grow this uniquely soft, feather-light wool.The true Pashmina wool comes from the neck and underbelly of these goats.
