Pashima


							The Heaven by Panchachuli products are made from 100% pashmina wool, are woven or knitted by hand and are of exceptionally high quality. Unfortunately, the great demand for products made from this exquisite wool in recent years has led to the name pashmina being applied to products of inferior quality. Pure pashmina products feel wonderful, warm and soft as finest cashmere but lighter and more flowing. Mukti Datta, the founder of the Panchachuli cooperative has been in contact for many years with the nomadic tribes of the Tibetan Himalayas, who have been trading this exquisite good for generations. This means she has direct access to high-quality raw materials. The products from Heaven by Panchachuli are not only beautiful, but their sale supports the economic and social structure of an entire region. Panchachuli Women Weavers Work is the largest cooperative of economically self-sufficient women in Kumaon. Munsiyari: The Munsiyari collection is named after the tribal region on the Indo-Tibet border where the Panchachuli Range of Himalayas is located. This collection comprises only the purest Tibetan Pashmina brought from nomads on the high Tibetan plateau to the main production unit of Panchachuli Women Weavers to be processed using Scottish machines before being handspun and handwoven to create exquisite stoles, scarves, shawls, wraps, throws and blankets. We do not dye our Pashmina because the delicacy of the fibers which tend to weaken when the process of vegetable dyeing is applied. So the two shades in the collection are the natural colors of the wool. The word Lena is the local term for pure Pashmina.
