Denner Cashmere Vouchers, Discounts & Deals

The name "cashmere" comes from the wild, mountainous regions of India and Pakistan, Kashmir. The fibre actually came from Tibet and was then woven in Kashmir. We know that in 15th Century India, more than 5, people were employed in the processing of cashmere. Cashmere's use as a luxury fiber can be dated as far back as Roman times. More recently, it was popularized by the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who had the fibre woven in France into her famous "ring shawl" - so called because it could be drawn through her wedding ring.
