How Big Brands are Cheating People?
Last Month I had a meeting with a USA pashmina buyer. The Lady was very smart and clever. She was looking for pashmina 50% Pashmina 50% Silk Quality. And she also told me she is selling the Pashmina 50% Pashmina 50% Silk under 70% Pashmina 30% Silk Tag. The lady has a big brand name on Pashmina and she is doing like this :( . A supplier offered her 50% 50% Superb quality and u know what guys she refused to take the buyer offer and told us “I cant sell this fine quality because the price are little high”. And the price difference was only 20-30 Rs. Indian bucks. I gone through her site and I found she is making good margin from pashmina. Really this is ridicules how big brands are cheating people. Just because of people are not much aware about pashmina. So please whenever you buy something please realize the quality as mentioned by the seller.

There is something more luxurious than PASHMINA
There is something more luxurious than pashmina--but it's illegal. It's called shahtoosh, and it comes from the chiru, an endangered wild Tibetan antelope. To clip its hair, hunters there kill the animal. Its wool is said to be even softer than pashmina. A pure shahtoosh wrap is sometimes called a ring pashmina shawl because it is very much delicate that a whole shawl can be easily slipped through a gold ring. Pashmina, in comparison, is so fine that a folded shawl can rest in the palm of one's hand. It's illegal to buy or sell shahtoosh under the U.N. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, but there's a black market; a shahtoosh shawl starts at about $9,000. Which makes pashmina seem downright reasonable, even ecofriendly, by comparison.

Cheap is not always best?
If you’re hiring someone to re-roof your house or drywall your basement, should you take the lowest bid? Probably not. Would you pay bottom of the barrel rates for car insurance? Not a good idea. You wouldn’t buy the cheapest car or TV available. Then why search for a cheap Pashmina shawl? Cheap has it’s consequences. Lesser quality, lesser service, lower wages for the producers resulting in child labor, no sustainability development. Buy a high quality Pashmina shawl and pay a little bit more knowing that your money goes to good causes. Supporting small entrepreneurs instead of that all the money goes to the big businessman.
