Abundance offers beautiful stoles in delicate hues, adorned with intricate sequin work and rhinestones, perfect for any occasion. 
The origins of pashmina and cashmere
Pashmina and Cashmere shawls originate from the Himalayan region of India, specifically Kashmir. The word "Pashmina" is derived from "pashm," meaning soft gold, and refers to the fine wool that comes from the underbelly of the Himalayan goat known as the Changthangi goat. This wool fiber is extremely fine, measuring just about 12-15 microns in diameter, which contributes to its unparalleled softness and warmth.
Weaving pashmina shawls is a centuries-old art form in which Kashmiri artisans painstakingly hand-spin these delicate fibres and weave them into luxurious wraps. The traditional techniques used in making pashmina shawls make each piece unique, and they are often decorated with intricate embroidery and embellishments that reflect India's rich cultural heritage.
