The perfect choice for Mother's Day: Hand-Woven Kani Pashmina with Tilla, a top-tier Kani shawl.

Technique: Handwoven Kani + Hand-embroidered Tilla Composition: 100% Pashmina Dimensions: 100 x 200 cm Care: Dry clean only Finish: Natural fringe Made in India, Kashmir The art of Pashmina in Kashmir dates back to the 15th century when the Persian saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani arrived with 700 artisans, teaching the locals traditional crafts. Among these was Pashmina embroidery, an art form passed down through generations. Each hand-embroidered piece takes master artisans at least six months to complete, embodying exquisite needlework, patience, focus, and devotion. More importantly, it represents the enduring legacy of craftsmanship and culture from the Kashmir region. The Kani weaving technique boasts a history of over a century, entirely handcrafted. Artisans work 5-7 hours daily, achieving only about 2.5 cm of progress. The weave is exceptionally clean on both the front and back, with no visible stray threads. A full 100x200cm Kani shawl can take a year to create. The annual production is remarkably limited, with each piece being unique. The warmth of its hand-feel is something machines can never replicate, forming the most enchanting charm of handmade artistry! This shawl represents the pinnacle of Indian craftsmanship, featuring handwoven Kani complemented by Tilla embroidery, hailed as the "king of embroidery" in India. It is truly a collectible piece! In an era dominated by mass production, very few artisans remain dedicated to the intricate Tilla work, making its presence on Pashmina a testament to exceptional skill. Like a painting, warmth and life are woven into the fabric. The three-dimensional texture on the reverse offers a distinctly different visual experience. Only the most skilled artisans can create such a masterful Kani shawl. It can serve as a statement accessory or a exquisite piece of art, embodying the cultural heritage and legacy of Kashmir – the wisdom of our ancestors. Pashmina is both an individual item and a work of art, a cherished blessing. Due to the extensive time and labor involved, fewer and fewer people are willing to undertake its creation. Each piece is unique; once sold, no identical one will be available again.
