The soft and warm Pashmina is the pride of Kashmir and carries with it the rich heritage of the valley. Dating back to the 16th century, Pashmina was discovered during the Mughal era. It had admirers back then and even today it is popular all over the world. Procured from the Changra goats that are found in the Changhthangh region of Ladakh, Pashmina wool is famous for its smooth and luxurious texture.
Before being converted into the beautiful products that grace showrooms and shops, Pashmina goes through many stages of processing, spinning, and weaving in the handlooms of Kashmir. This whole process takes days to finish and still makes for only half of the entire journey. The other half involves converting this fine quality wool into accessories like wraps, shawls, pherans, and scarves and adorning them with beautiful patterns.
A similar type of artistry can be seen on this pure Pashmina shawl. This is a simple and stylish piece that is the perfect representation of minimalism. The Sozni embroidery done on the shawl speaks of the exquisite craftsmanship employed while creating this magnificent piece of work. Sozni is an embroidery technique that is very delicately performed using very small needles. The same technique has been applied here to create floral designs that run alongside the length and breadth of the shawl in a neemdar pattern.
Bright colors like orange, red, and yellow on an off-white base create an interesting contrast that immediately catches the eye and make this a timeless piece which is ideal for being paired with bright colored outfits.
