In the 18th century, the cashmere shawls invaded Europe and as in many other countries, Russia started to produce shawls, taking as a starting point the Cashmere production.
Based of the cachemiris know how, Russia forged its own knowledge, finding its own matters, working out its own manufactoring processes, and defined a personal style whose emblematic figure is elegantly represented by the famous model "Russian Beauty"
The making of the Russian shawls:
The Cashmere models are made in goat down from Tibet, but this matter being not very abundant, the Russians were directed towards the use of combed sheep wool, which after some improvements became a very comfortable and pleasant matter with a great touch.
As it was not possible to carry out a sufficient production with a manual embroidered patterns, the Russians adopted successfully the manufactoring processes of the Gobelins tapestries to manufacture the shawls.
The most distinctive sign of the Russian Shawls comes from their decoration.
The center is normally left empty, with a bright or dark color according to its style.
It is surrounded by a broad garland of stylised flowers with bright colors, the whole surrounded by an exuberant fringe in long silk or wool threads.
