Our Story & Heritage

Welcome to Himalayan Pashmina

At Himalayan Pashmina, we celebrate the quiet luxury of things made by hand.

Our shawls and cashmere pieces are crafted from exceptionally soft, natural fibres, bringing together warmth, comfort and timeless elegance. Each piece is made with care and carries the character of Nepal’s rich textile heritage.

For generations, skilled women weavers across Nepal have kept this craft alive, passing knowledge from one generation to the next. Over the years, I have had the privilege of meeting many of these remarkable artisans and seeing first-hand the patience, precision and pride they bring to their work.

As a Nepali woman, I believe women’s empowerment plays a vital role in the social and economic development of communities. My purpose is to share the beauty of Nepali handmade textiles with the world while creating meaningful opportunities for home-based, grassroots artisans and informal-sector producers who can find it difficult to reach international markets.


Our Commitment to Fair and Ethical Trade

For us, luxury is not only about how something feels. It is also about how it is made and the people behind it.

Himalayan Pashmina is committed to fair and ethical trading practices. We build lasting relationships with our artisans through mutual trust, transparency and respect, with a focus on prompt and fair payment and greater direct access to markets and opportunities.

For many years, our artisans have supplied premium-quality cashmere products to renowned international brands. Their work is shaped by generations of knowledge, refined through experience and expressed through every carefully made piece.


The Art of Pashmina / Cashmere

True pashmina is a craft of patience.

From the delicate fibre to the finished piece, every stage requires skill, time and a deep understanding of the material. Spinning, weaving and finishing are carried out with care, allowing the natural softness, warmth and beauty of the fibre to emerge.

Fine fibres can be exceptionally delicate, traditionally measuring around 15–19 microns in diameter. Working with fibres this fine demands specialist knowledge and a gentle, experienced hand.


Understanding Quality

We believe you should know the story and substance behind what you buy.

At Himalayan Pashmina, we value authenticity, craftsmanship and honesty. We work closely with our artisans to create pieces that honour Nepal’s textile traditions and the generations of knowledge woven into them.


Crafted with Purpose

Every Himalayan Pashmina piece carries more than warmth. It carries a story — of skilled hands, enduring traditions and communities building more sustainable livelihoods through their craft.

Our collections are created with a commitment to fair trade, responsible sourcing, sustainable colour and thoughtful design. We continually seek ways to reduce our environmental impact while respecting the natural materials and traditional techniques at the heart of our work.

When you choose Himalayan Pashmina, you are choosing more than a beautiful shawl or cashmere piece. You are supporting artisans, helping preserve Nepali craftsmanship and bringing a centuries-old tradition to a wider world.

Handcrafted in spirit. Rooted in Nepal. Made with purpose.
