Sozni Embroidered Paisleys Shawl

The appeal of Pashmina is unrivaled. This spectacular shawl, dyed by the darkness of Kashmir's night skis, is a great example of oriental charm. Derived from the Persian word “Pashum” for softness, pashmina yarn is spun from the naturally depigmented hair of Tibetan and Ladakh's native Changra goats.
