KVS Pasal unveils luxurious cashmere scarves & stole line

KVS Pasal unveils the spring/summer 2012 collection. These luxurious cashmere scarves and stoles are hand-woven using skills and techniques passed down from generation to generation.

Since every fiber is handspun, the irregular yarn adds intriguing texture and pattern to these beautiful works of art. The craftsmen and women use only natural fibers like cashmere, silk, modal, linen and fine wool, making for truly superior cashmere collection. This collection is of the finest quality and a perfect compliment to any style.

"The new cashmere scarves are just a small sample of the unparalleled products available from KVS Pasal. All of our products, whether jewelry or clothing items, are handcrafted and designed individually by craftsmen and women and are therefore unique," says Victoria Vacala, the owner of the company.

"Having traveled to and lived side by side with these artisans over the years, I am constantly awed by the techniques these artists use and have passed down through their family for hundreds of years.
