A journalist based in India, Justine Hardy started trading pashima shawls as a way of raising funds to support an education programme in some of Delhi's slum areas. This text tells the story of the goat hair, gathered from herds that graze among the high-altitude monasteries of Little Tibet, woven in villages near the Kashmiri border with Pakistan, and sold to ladies-who-lunch of London's Notting Hill.

Justine Hardy's first book, The Ochre Border, was about the reopening of the Tibetan frontier-lands. Her second, Scoop-Wallah, the story of life on an Indian newspaper in Delhi, was short-listed for the Thomas Cook/Daily Telegraph Travel Book Award in 2000. She lives in London and Delhi.
"'Hardy writes like a dream... Very funny, inspirational and containing just about all you ever wanted to know about pashmina' William Allendale 'The strength of her storyline is complemented by her evocative prose, sensitively written with humour and pathos' Victoria Schofield"
