Description

Hand embroidered by Expert Craftsmen in Kashmir, India

Kashmiri Shawl is rooted in a complex tradition of craft that goes back at least five hundred years. Its uniqueness lies in a combination of factors that have made it virtually impossible to duplicate this product anywhere else in the world.

Pashmina has been termed as the finest Fabric known to the world and the art of embellishing it with fine Kashmiri embroidery does not just create masterpieces of textiles but “Art” in the form of a drapable textile. An art which survived generations primarily on Royal patronage, and till this date these are creations for a connoisseur.

Border shawls, have a placement of the design of equal width running around the four sides of the shawl.

A Palledar shawl has the placement of the design which is much broader at the two ends/ Pallas of the shawl and a narrow pattern running along the length.

The Embroidery in these shawls is done in either of the traditional Kashmiri stitches. Since generations, Kashmiri embroidery is done in two kinds of stitches, Sozni/ Paper machie stitch. Based on the design and final look of the embroidery, the stich to be used is chosen. Each of these stitches have a charm of their own with a specific character.
