The poncho is a versatile garment. It functions as both a top and an outerwear that you could layer over the rest of your outift. The one that you see on this page is a colour-blocked poncho handpicked for its sheer elegance. Fashioned from pure pashmina wool, it comes from the looms of local Nepalese weavers because no other region in the world has the knowledge and skill to work with pashmina. The naturally molting underbelly hair of the endemic changra goat takes an eye-watering proportion of time and labour to be spun into yarn, dyed, turned into fabric, and embroidered.

This explains why the pashmina fabric is so desirable. This poncho is a pale grey and brown number, superimposed with minimalistic embroidery down the bust. It sits gently on the shoulders, making for a drape that is deliciously feminine. Pashmina is arguably the warmest fabric that there is, which is despite its superlative lightness. This poncho is sure to be a signature addition to your wardrobe - you could wear it to parties or gatherings with a traditional spin, depending on how you choose to accessorise it.
