The composition of this shawl is so unique that you will not find anywhere else. It is an original creation by one of our main artisans. We use 20% of pashmina wool in the creation of this shawl, which makes it particularly soft and also very warm. Pashmina has an insulating effect which is why this shawl of medium thickness provides great warmth. Silk combined with pashmina gives a richness to all the tones. 
This meditation or prayer shawl will be most appreciated in cooler environments where it helps to wrap up warm.


To learn more about pashmina wool, read below.

Nowadays, the word “pashmina” has become the generic name for a shawl. This is a misnomer and many shawls, both in natural and synthetic fibres, are often touted as pashmina.

Pashmina is the finest fibre available*. This wonder comes from the « Changthangi » goat that lives in the high Himalayan mountains in Ladakh. The goats of this region produce the most beautiful pashmina in the world.

These goats are raised and cared for by semi-nomadic people who must move to allow the flock to forage. They collect pashmina every spring and each goat gives about 3 to 8 ounces of fibre. The fibres of pashmina are only 10 to 14 microns. A micron is 7 to 8 times thinner than human hair.

This regal fibre is luxuriously soft, feather light and surprisingly warm for its weight.

* The Shahtoosh fibre which comes from the Tibetan antelope (Charu), is even finer than pashmina. However, in order for the fibre to be collected the life of the animal must be sacrificed. As a result, this antelope has become an endangered species and it is absolutely forbidden to collect its fibres.

This item (LAKSHMI LIGHT) exceeded my expectations. I have been searching for a replacement for a much loved cashmere shawl I got in India years ago that was lost. I finally found this shawl and anxiously waited for it to arrive. It is perfect...soft, warm and light. Just absolutely beautiful.
