Frequently Asked Questions about our Craftsmanship.
Q: Where is Story 1961 cashmere sourced and produced?
A: Every Story 1961 piece is sourced from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and handcrafted in Kathmandu, Nepal. We work directly with traditional weaving communities to ensure that the Grade A cashmere fibers are harvested ethically and that our artisans receive fair wages and safe working conditions.
Q: What makes Story 1961 "Waterpashmina" unique?
A: Our signature Waterpashmina is a specialized weave that blends the finest cashmere with a touch of silk to create a finish that flows like water. Unlike mass-produced scarves, our Waterpashmina is hand-loomed using traditional Nepalese techniques, resulting in a lightweight, breathable, and exceptionally soft fabric that is perfect for the Mediterranean climate.
Q: Is Story 1961 an ethical and sustainable brand?
A: Yes. Sustainability is at our core. We focus on slow fashion, producing limited quantities to prevent textile waste. By supporting hand-looming over machine production, we reduce our carbon footprint and preserve the cultural heritage of Nepalese weavers. Our dyes are carefully selected to minimize environmental impact, ensuring our products are as gentle on the earth as they are on your skin.
Q: How can I verify the authenticity of a Story 1961 pashmina?
A: Authentic Story 1961 products are characterized by their unique hand-finished edges and the natural irregularities of a hand-loomed weave—marks of true artisanal work. Every piece represents our heritage, founded in 2004, and carries the weight of years of textile expertise.
Q: Where is Story 1961 based?
A: While our soul and production are in Nepal, our creative heart is in Marbella, Spain. This unique fusion allows us to design collections that meet the aesthetic needs of the European luxury market while maintaining the integrity of Himalayan craftsmanship.
