Logo
Logo was designed to convey idea of all-natural source of wool. Pashmina Fabric is derived ethically from goat belly by combing unlike sheep shearing.
Considering rich history and references of Pashmina fashion worn by aristocracy and nobility in past, it was easy to represent that in logo with a classic heritage like logo design but I choose to go with modern style of logo with symbolism. It will be easy to sell timeless art praised by many also give a way to implement modern fashion design and explore upcoming apparel trends.
Logotype is classic serif font to convey authenticity and traditional luxury.
