This is how Monique Lévi-Strauss, wife of the famous anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, begins the extraordinary account of an adventure that began thirty years ago, when cashmere shawls cost very little and no longer aroused the passion that they had inspired among nineteenth-century ladies. It was at the end of the eighteenth century that English ladies first discovered the exotic shawls from Kashmir. The trend reached France with the return of Napoleon's soldiers from the Egyptian campaign. It spread rapidly: French women found that nothing was better suited to the new, classically inspired fashions of the time than these glamorous shawls. In 1809 the Empress Josephine was painted wearing a dress made from a white cashmere shawl, and Napoleon gave seventeen cashmere shawls as wedding presents to his second wife, Marie-Louise of Austria. Despite their costliness, the shawls were wildly sought after. The demand soon outstripped the supply, and the weavers of Kashmir had to change their production methods in order to increase output. Textile manufacturers in France and also in Britain sought to copy the Kashmiri designs but envisaged a technique more in keeping with European tradition—it took two Kashmiri men up to three years to weave a single precious shawl, using an incredible phantasmagoria of colors. As European manufacturers continued to vie with one another in "counterfeiting" Kashmir shawls, a flourishing industry developed, encouraged by the invention in France of the Jacquard loom. By 1840, European fashion was influencing shawl design in Kashmir, and among Europeans the French designs were the most popular. Eventually shawls became available in a wide range of prices, reflecting the quality of their decoration and of the raw materials from which they were made, including the number of different colors that had been used for the weft. Monique Lévi-Strauss has examined the evolution of French shawls from 1800 to 1880, identifying and classifying them in a comprehensive manner for the first time.
