Pashmina:

• East of Leh, in the lap of Hindukush lies Changthang, a land of pastoralnomads. A startling geological theatre, the womb of pashm-a labour of love;the cradle of pashmina - an ode to craftsmanship. Pashmina has transcendedits recognition as merely an epitome of luxury, opulence and extravagance.Pashmina is an emotion-encapsulating the identity of generations andrevered as an heirloom.
• The soul of Pashmina resides in its uncompromised delicate texture andwarmth. It can be handwoven over traditional wooden looms into plain/twillwoven shawls, scarves or stoles. The interplay of hues and surface textureslend a vast variety to the end product.

• It is widely fabled that a Kashmiri embroidered Pashmina shawl inits pristine glory has the potential to bring delight to its viewerseyes. Pashmina base is hand embroidered in traditionalembroideries of Sozni, Tilla, Zari and more. Depending on thecomplexity of design and intricacy of technique, an embroideredPashmina shawl can take months or even years.
• As one turns the pages of history, a craft that has left its indeliblemark is the weaving of Kani Pashmina Shawl. The Kani Shawl ishandwoven over a loom, along with wooden bobbins wound withcolourful threads, which create spectacular motifs over the base.A Kani Shawl takes around 6 months to 5 years to get completed.An embodiment of elegance-an authentic Pashmina Kani shawl issomething that echoes sophistication.

Washing Instructions:

• Keep in dry conditions away from sunlight. 
• Ideally, papier mache should only be dusted, and care taken to not rub off the paint. 
• Never use water to clean your trays, especially black or red trays. This can cause the white cloudy areas that we sometimes see on vintage trays. 
• If your tray gets dirty, clean it with cotton wool dipped in soapy water. 
• When dried, polish your tray with microcrystalline wax.  This will protect it and give it a lustrous finish.
• After each use wipes it with a dry cloth. 
• If a stain appears then you can use a hint of lemon in the water for the cloth. 
• Don’t’ ever rinse or immerse your papier mache antiques in water.
