The Heaven by Panchachuli products are made from 100% pashmina wool, are woven or knitted by hand and are of exceptionally high quality.

Unfortunately, the great demand for products made from this exquisite wool in recent years has led to the name pashmina being applied to products of inferior quality. Pure pashmina products feel wonderful, warm and soft as finest cashmere but lighter and more flowing.

Mukti Datta, the founder of the Panchachuli cooperative has been in contact for many years with the nomadic tribes of the Tibetan Himalayas, who have been trading this exquisite good for generations. This means she has direct access to high-quality raw materials.

The products from Heaven by Panchachuli are not only beautiful, but their sale supports the economic and social structure of an entire region. Panchachuli Women Weavers Work is the largest cooperative of economically self-sufficient women in Kumaon.

Dyes

The Heaven by Panchachuli products are made exclusively from natural raw materials and are not treated with any chemical additives. Flowers, leaves, roots, nuts and bark are used to dye the products. Sunshine, rain and changes in temperature can all have an effect on the natural dye process resulting in slight seasonal differences in the colours of the products.
