INSPECTION SCOPE

What We Check in Every Pashmina Shipment

Pashmina and cashmere need a careful eye — fibre authenticity, weight precision, weave quality — those three things are what justify the premium price. Our inspectors have spent years in Nepal's pashmina industry and know the process from raw fibre to finished piece.
