Woven by hand in Kashmir using the kani technique, this wool shawl carries its intricate motifs directly in the weave, a slower and more labour-intensive method than embroidery that produces a denser, more durable pattern. It drapes softly over the shoulders and works equally well as an evening wrap or a statement layer over winter formalwear.
Kani weaving is a centuries-old craft native to the Kashmir valley, and pieces like this are increasingly rare as fewer artisans continue the tradition. A distinctive addition for anyone who collects genuine handwoven textiles.
