History of Shawls, Pashmina Shawl

Celebrating 70+ Years of Trust: The Story Behind Our Pashmina Heritage

Written By Zaid

On this Page

In the world of fast fashion and volatile trends, Some legacies last through time. One Such a heritage is the KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium – a name that has become synonymous with authentic pashmina crafts since 1950. With roots in the heart of Kashmir, our brand has been nurturing and showcasing the true art of HandWoven Pashmina for over seven decades.

Recently, our journey and inheritance were featured by DNN24, a respected Indian digital media platform celebrating heritage and authenticity. This recognition is not just a moment of pride, but a milestone that respects our customers and the generations of the confidence we have.

A Journey That Began in 1950

KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium began with a clear goal: to protect and promote the traditional art of Kashmiri Pashmina weaving. While the world around us was changing fast, We choose to stay true to our roots—working closely with skilled artisans, using only original materials, and sticking to the values that define true quality.
We haven’t just watched the journey of Pashmina—we’ve proudly been a part of it.

As Featured by DNN24: A Testament to Our Legacy

Being featured by DNN24 is a validation of the values we have upheld for generations. In their article, they rightly describe us as a brand that has remained committed to purity, transparency, and tradition in an industry where mass production and imitation are becoming the norm.

Read the full feature here: KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium: Authentic Pashmina Since 1950 – DNN24
This media recognition is not just about exposure — it’s about honoring the artisans, their craft, and the unwavering trust of our customers around the world.

The Art of Authentic Pashmina: What Sets Us Apart

As highlighted in the DNN24 article, KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium is one of the brands in India that still works directly with traditional Kashmiri artisan, using centuries old techniques and pure Changthangi Goat Wool from Ladakh.

Here’s what makes every KCS product unique:

100% Pure Changthangi Pashmina

We source our Pashmina wool from Changhani goats found in large altitude areas in Ladakh. This wool is one of the best and soft natural fibres in the world – it is incredibly warm, light and luxurious.

Hand-Spun & Handwoven

Unlike the machine-produced or semi-processed shawls, our pieces are fully handmade from spinning the yarn to weaving the final product. It ensures quality, durability and uniqueness in each shawl.

Traditional Weaving Techniques

Our craftsmen use a wooden handloom, a technique that has been transferred from generation to generation. It takes weeks — sometimes months – to make a single pashmina shawl.

Certified Authenticity

Each KCS shawl is accompanied by an authenticity certificate and undergoes strict quality checks. What you get is not just a product – it’s a piece of cultural history.

Bringing Pashmina from Kashmir to the World

Today, our collection is available both in our located store and via an online website. We serve all over India, and USA, Canada, UAE, Europe for global customers.

Whether you are the first buyer or seasoned collector we offers:

  • Buying directly from the source
  • Fair Trade Artisan Communities supports
  • Globally shipped, gift-ready packaging
  • Access to timeless and seasonal modern designs
  • Personal assistance for customized or gifting order

From classic solids to Kani Weave, works from embroidery to reversible styles – our range is rich and diverse as Kashmir itself.

A Legacy Built on Trust. A Future Built on Craft.

Our presence on platforms such as DNN24 reflects a deep truth-that in a world full of fast products, still true heritage matters the most. At KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium, we are committed in our mission to offer the best quality while delivering the global audience.

Every thread we spin is a promise – of quality, authenticity and respect for tradition.

Explore our latest collections at KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium and be part of a journey that began in 1950.
