"What's the fuss?"
If you think that pashmina is pashmina is pashmina, let us break the news: there are five different qualities of "pashmina" yarn available to shawl producers in Kathmandu.
Most of the so-called pashmina shawls being exported from Nepal and India these days are made from adulterated yarn. If you haven't experienced premium quality pashmina, then you're in for a treat!
By the way, pashmina is just the indigenous word for cashmere, which is a term applied by European colonialists to a fabric that was known primarily as a product of Kashmir, the disputed territory in northwest India.
We're ten years old!!!
Sunrise sells only premium quality textiles hand-crafted in Kathmandu, Nepal. We've been exporting since 1999, which is actually quite long in this extremely competitive market. We absolutely guarantee that you will be pleased with our product... and our service. [More...]
And ... we're going Back to K-K-K-Kathmandu! (and Everest Base Camp!). After a hiatus of five years, Bridges-PRTD is setting up for another study/volunteer expedition to the High Himalayas of Nepal. [ More ]

You say pashima, we say pashmina... How many ways can this word be misspelled? Here are a few that we've seen: pashminar, pashmine, pasmina, pasmeena, pachema, pachimina, bashmina, bashmeena, pasima, pashima, pachima, pashimina, paschmina, puhseema, pasichma... We don't really care how you spell it. We're just listing these so that if someone googles one of them, we've got an edge over those hardline companies that recognize only one "correct" spelling. |
