Are online items available immediately?
All items are in stock and ready to ship.
Will you be offering new products soon?
India, where our Pashminas are made, is also affected by the Covid19 pandemic. The country is also subject to a containment procedure, no shipment of new products is currently possible.
What about the next shipment of embroidered Pashminas?
I go to Srinagar every year to select new embroidered Pashminas and should have been there at the moment, but the borders are currently closed and should remain so until at least September. This trip will probably not be possible this year, but perhaps a remote selection of novelties can be envisaged in order to continue to ensure the income of the families who carry them out. Nothing is defined yet.
What is the situation in India and Kashmir now?
India implemented containment on March 25. But this country of 1.3 billion inhabitants with precarious sanitary conditions is already hard hit by the economic crisis and the measure had the consequence of exacerbating the already existing difficulties. State borders were closed within 4 hours, making supply very difficult, and the cessation of activity hit the poorest hard, causing the mass exodus of millions of daily workers from cities to their villages, forced to choose between coronavirus or hunger …
For the moment our partners in Delhi and Srinagar are doing well, our thoughts are with them.
