Do Rukha Pashmina Shawls
"Do-Rukha", literally means "two-faced" and it refers to the specific type of wraps that were embroidered in a manner that the front of the wrap is mirrored by the pattern on the back
One of the varieties of Cashmere shawls is often believed to be magical, as its weaving is complicated and unfathomable. The Do-Rukha Cashmere is handwoven in such a way that one side is the reflection of the other. This makes both sides wearable. In another way, there is no back and front of the shawl, and both sides are beautiful and worth flaunting.
A more lavish variety of the Do Rukha shawl is the Aksi Do Rukha which is hand embroidered. Even after the embroidery, the shawl can be worn from the sides. For the one who has everything, it is a must-have cashmere accessory that is a classical emblem of eternal love for this beautiful craft of Pashmina.

In ancient times, it was pure gold and silver over the wraps which the noble court men and royal queens would cherish. But now it is your turn to drape these regal pieces and feel the touch of glorious traditions that surround you in sheer warmth and sophistication.

Sustainability is always in with Pashmina.com - a socially conscious brand that brings you cashmere straight from the valley of Kashmir. As such, we recommend choosing our sustainable gifts category to show your loved ones as well as the environment some love.
If there is something that we love more than Cashmere, it is mother earth. Hence the reason why we practice transparency, ethical practices, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. Here is our three-pronged approach to sustainability.
The Cashmere we produce is of high quality and pure by every means. 100% authentic and certified Cashmere is manually acquired from Kashmir's Ladakh region. By working directly with the producers of the fibre, we get to pay them substantially better and you get the world's one of the finest fibres directly from the source, hence making the entire process sustainable.
Animals
The Capra Hircus goats popularly known as Cashmere goats
A responsible and cruelty-free practice of acquiring Cashmere fibre from the goat is made sure. The goat either leaves its fibre on surfaces naturally or else, herders comb their bodies softly and delicately to obtain Pashm from their underbelly. Ethical procuring of raw Cashmere wool is a pre-requisite.
People
Pashmina.com makes sure that products are handcrafted by artisans who use traditional artisan skills and organic Cashmere yarn to produce ethereal pieces
We come up with Cashmere accessories with transparent, open, and ethical relations between suppliers and ourselves to stay committed to environmental standards.
During holidays or sale periods, we see a lot of excess buying and consumerism rampant in the markets. And when all of this is out of fashion, and new trends come up just months after, all of the sale items are considered waste. This leads to wastage, improper disposal, and growth of fast fashion trends. Fast fashion forces manufacturers to produce more and more, and hence the burden on the planet causes nature to suffer.

Sustainable fashion and ethically produced products like Cashmere, on the other hand, are advocates of slow fashion. Products, which are a part of slow fashion, last for years together. Cashmere itself lasts for more than 20 years if it is pure and carefully cared about. There is no use of machines to manufacture Cashmere, and this simultaneously reduces the pressure on manufacturers to create more products. There is less use of machines, and the environment gets time to get replenished.
This is the reason we, at PASHM, offer sustainable gifts for your loved. As you exhibit your love for them, you should do the same for the environment you are living in. It is time to give back to nature, as it has nourished us since the beginning of life.

A Cashmere scarf is priceless in every way–it’s warm, feather-light, and incredibly chic. Conventional wisdom says the fibre procured from the underbelly of the extraordinary Changpa goats can last a lifetime, albeit you give it all the TLC (Tender Love Care). What’s more? Your Cashmere scarf gets softer with every wash, bringing you joy and warmth for years to come. Cashmere care is as important as investing in a pure Cashmere scarf itself!
Keeping your Cashmere scarf luxe and in high condition is not tough. But it does require a little patience and effort. Though it is less prone to pilling, there are still a few tips to keep in mind so you dazzle every time you wear it.
Why Cashmere needs gentle care
Cashmere, known for its luxurious softness and warmth, is a delicate material that requires careful handling. Unlike other types of wool, cashmere fibers are much finer, making them more susceptible to damage if not treated properly. This fragility is why gentle care is so crucial. Harsh detergents, high temperatures, and vigorous washing can all lead to pilling, shrinkage, and a loss of the cashmere's natural luster.
Understanding the delicate nature of cashmere helps in preserving its quality over time. When you handle cashmere with care, you maintain its softness and extend the life of your garments. Whether it's washing, drying, or storing, every step should be taken with the utmost gentleness to ensure that your cashmere scarf remains a treasured accessory for years to come
Choosing the Right Detergent for Cashmere
How to wash Cashmere scarf starts with choosing the right detergent. Cashmere is made from fine, delicate fibers that require a gentle touch, and using the wrong detergent can cause irreparable damage. To keep your cashmere scarf looking and feeling luxurious, opt for a detergent that is specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
Mild, pH-neutral detergents are the best choice for cashmere. These detergents are free from harsh chemicals like bleach, enzymes, and optical brighteners that can weaken the fibers and cause them to break down over time. Baby shampoo is also a popular alternative due to its gentle formula, which is kind to cashmere’s delicate structure.
When selecting a detergent, avoid anything with strong fragrances or additives, as these can leave residues that irritate the skin or cause the fabric to stiffen. Always check the label to ensure that the detergent is suitable for wool or cashmere, as this will give you the best results. Remember, a little goes a long way; using too much detergent can leave a soapy residue that is difficult to rinse out, leading to stiffness and dullness in the fabric.
By choosing the right detergent, you protect the softness, warmth, and beauty of your cashmere scarf, ensuring it remains a timeless accessory in your wardrobe.

Lay down some anti-moth paper on the storage shelf and put out some scented naphthalene balls to keep these pests at bay. And if these are old, make sure to replace them, since they lose their strength after a season.
If there’s not much space in your wardrobe, do not commit the mistake of storing these in cardboard boxes, since they are not pH neutral, and these could react with the chemicals in your fabric. In addition, do not even leave these products in plastic bags for more than a few months, since the change in temperature is also likely to affect its condition. It can also alter the colour of your Cashmere scarf
Lastly, try to wrap your product securely in acid-free tissue paper to preserve its original state and ensure greater protection against dust and dampness.

How can I prevent pilling in Cashmere scarves?
This is not uncommon, because some amount of pilling does occur in every Cashmere product, primarily due to the friction of everyday wear against loose fibres on the surface. It’s not that this determines the quality, but it is distinctive to Cashmere itself. You can certainly reduce the pilling of your garment by gently washing it to remove these fibres.
In case you still experience pilling, you can comb it out with a brush or rather a special kind of brush used for cashmere wraps. To comb your product, put it out in a flat manner and with very gentle hands, brush the comb over its surface wherever you see pills. Pay a little more attention to areas that are more prone to friction, including elbows, underarms, and even shoulders.
In case there’s not much pilling, you can still comb it on a regular basis to rid wobbly fibres. Besides this, try not to wear your cashmere against clothing with a harsh texture, such as pointed neckpieces, bracelets, or even rough bags.

If your Cashmere scarf is pure, you have to care for it even when you wear it. Do not wear a scarf made of pure Cashmere everyday. If you do so, the friction will cause it to pill and grow small wool balls over its surface. This way the scarf looks shabby, and the Cashmere base, too, gets withered. Cashmere should be worn once a week, and then stored properly as it needs rest from everyday agitation and chaffing. If one lives in a country where temperatures are low, it is better to buy more scarves if they want to wear Cashmere everyday.
Dealing with Stains: Spot Cleaning Tips
When it comes to dealing with stains on your cashmere scarf, a gentle approach is key. Cashmere is a delicate fabric, and harsh cleaning methods can easily damage its fine fibers. Knowing how to effectively spot clean stains will help maintain your scarf's luxurious feel and appearance, ensuring it stays beautiful for years to come.
First, it's essential to act quickly when a stain occurs. The longer a stain sits, the harder it becomes to remove. Begin by gently blotting the stained area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much of the stain as possible. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push it deeper into the fibers and cause the cashmere to pill or fray.
Once you've blotted the excess, prepare a mild cleaning solution. A few drops of pH-neutral detergent or baby shampoo mixed with cold water works well. Dip a clean, white cloth into the solution and gently dab the stained area. Remember, less is more when applying the cleaning solution; too much liquid can saturate the fibers and lead to further damage.
After treating the stain, rinse the area with cold water by dabbing it with another clean cloth to remove any soap residue. Be sure not to soak the fabric. Once the stain is lifted, lay the scarf flat on a towel and gently press to remove excess water. Allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Understanding how to wash a cashmere scarf and spot clean it properly can save you from the frustration of dealing with stubborn stains while preserving the integrity of this luxurious fabric. With the right care, your cashmere scarf will remain a cherished piece in your wardrobe, free from unsightly marks and blemishes.
