Founded in 1988 by Shiva Kumar Shrestha, Dhaulagiri Pashmina Industry (DPI) is one of the Nepal’s premier manufacturer and exporter of fine hand woven cashmere products.
Despite DPI’s focus on traditional handicraft techniques in dyeing and weaving, our factory located just outside Kathmandu, has the latest washing and finishing equipment as well as attentive, well-trained staffs to ensure high quality control. Fifty percent of our staffs are women and child labor is never used and strictly forbidden.
Research and development at DPI extends into a variety of areas. Starting with selecting the finest fibers, DPI is constantly involved in the development of new yarns, dyeing and spinning techniques, weaves and knits. This constant innovation has won us the attention of top fashion designers in Europe and in America. We have produced a number of unique accessories for their couture, ready-to-wear and lifestyle collection: including oversized hand-spun blankets, throws and scarves.
