Pashmina - |pə sh ˈmēnə|
noun
a fine, soft fabric made from cashmere
a shawl made of this
a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it. The name comes from Pashmineh, made from Persian pashm ("wool"). The wool comes from changthangi or pashmina goat, which is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas. Pashmina shawls are hand spun, woven and embroidered in Kashmir, and made from fine cashmere fiber.
Pashmina’s are great year-round to add a pop of color or fun print to any outfit weather it be running errands during the day or a night out. Almost every store sells them but the best place online is a site called PeachCouture.com. The purple one shown on the mannequin is from that site and is on sale right now for $9.95 and they have just about every color your little heart desires!
