Our Story

HERITAGE | LUXURY | SUSTAINABILITY

Indus weavers celebrate the centuries-old tradition of weaving Pashmina, the finest cashmere from Kashmir, India, where every ensemble narrates a story through intricate weaving & embellishment techniques. 

Dynamic = Infinity

Infinity is the appropriate symbol to represent the concepts of generation after generation.

The ring in the centre symbolises the softness and finesse of Pashmina.

Our Values

Authenticity

Every item we create tells a story of the skills, culture, & history of the maker's community, which are inextricably woven into our Pashmina.

Respect

Our work respects people and the planet.

We partner directly with weavers, artisans, & herders to ensure livelihood opportunities for those who need them most.

Sustainability

Pashmina shawls are made from ethically sourced wool, which is organic. The Changra goats grow a warm coat in response to the harsh climate, and when they shed it in summer, they are hand-combed with no harm to them. 

Producing pashmina fabric is done manually from start to finish. Natural organic dyes are used to preserve fine fibres for Pashmina.

Heritage & Luxury
With such an opulent history woven into its delicate fabric, it’s no wonder pashminas have maintained their luxury status today.
The Pashmina has a long history. Its existence can be traced to the medieval period. However, archaeological findings & literary pieces of evidence indicate its presence even as early as the Indus Valley Civilization.

 

Pashmina has fascinated kings, royals, and people all over the world with its magical allure and traditional grace.
