Chang-pa & Changthangi

For centuries the Changthangi goat or Tibetan goat is reared by nomadic shepherds Changpa.

Of Buddhist confession, they firmly believe in the sacred origin of their herds and live to the rhythm of their livestock and the nature that surrounds them.

Pashmina Fiber

All Pashmina is Cashmere but all Cashmere is not Pashmina!

In order to survive the extreme weather conditions that hit the Himalayas, the Changthangi goat develops under its winter coat a fleece of rare finesse.

This down, called Pashm by locals, allows animals to survive.

The ultra-fine natural fiber of Pashmina

is the finest cashmere variety in the world
