Pashmina
Pashmina is a precious fibre originating from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, traditionally sourced from the soft undercoat of the Changthangi goat. Known for its exceptional fineness, warmth and lightness, pashmina has been valued for centuries and closely associated with the artisanal heritage of Kashmir, where it is carefully hand-spun and woven by skilled craftspeople.
The Process
The process begins with the raw fibre, which is cleaned, spun into fine yarn and woven on traditional looms. Entirely made by hand, it requires time, precision and knowledge passed down through generations, resulting in a textile that is soft, delicate and quietly elegant.
Human Touch
Each pashmina piece carries the trace of the hands that created it, with slight irregularities that reflect its authenticity. For Ophicina, pashmina expresses the meeting of nature, craftsmanship and human skill, embodying a quiet luxury rooted in tradition, care and handmade work.
