Meaning and background
The story behind Cashmere
Cashmere is the name of a fine, soft textile, ultimately linked to Kashmir, the region associated with its production. That background offers something more precise than a vague claim that the name means luxury. Spoken aloud, Cashmere has a gentle two-part rhythm, while its spelling keeps the geographical history visible.
