Cashmere: For Weddings and Beyond

The very mention of Pashmina (or Cashmere) conjures up images of opulence, luxury, and sheer royalty. No wonder, cashmere products are favored for weddings as the perfect match for a bridal trousseau or even for that matter, a symbol of affection for bridesmaids. For as long as we remember, weddings are not less than a festive affair; there’s grandeur in good measure. We love to put up a good show and let ourselves loose for week-long celebrations!

Since weddings hold such a special place in our hearts, the bride’s trousseau is put together with the utmost care. Unlike previous generations, most brides today prefer to go for quality or utility over quantity. In the kitty laden with heavy pieces, it is almost imperative to have a hand-crafted pure Cashmere shawl. It’s a timeless piece that exudes an air of elegance and lends royalty to the bride. Considered an heirloom since time immemorial, this piece of luxury has often been passed on from the mother to the daughter at the time of her marriage.

As times have changed, there are many brides who have made a transition from the classic, traditional Cashmere shawls to the vividly-colored, hand-crafted, or hand-embroidered ones that are in vogue today. It is more than a piece of fabric, it is the epitome of the finest luxury that is coveted by all; be it the giver or the receiver. What's more, we offer personalized and customized options as well to make it a collector's item!
