Kashmiri Shawls

The shawls made in Kashmir(kashmiri shawls) occupy a pre-eminent place among textile products; and it is to them and to their imitations from Western looms that specific importance attaches. The Kashmiri shawl is characterized by the elaboration of its design, in which the "cone" pattern is a prominent feature, and by the glowing harmony, brilliance, depth, and enduring qualities of its colors. A fine soft Persian sheep's wool are used for shawl weaving in Northern Pakistan namely Gilgit, Hunza and the kashmir region. Kashmiri shawls were light and smooth, while imitators up until the 1830s were woven from silk or sheep’s wool, making them considerably heavier. “Fashion or no fashion,” Demorest’s proclaimed in 1883, “there is nothing more elegant than a real kashmiri shawl for wear between seasons, and it has a permanent value and beauty which the garment cut from it never possess.” Checkout our wide variety of hand made kashmiri shawls Made in Pakistan in this section.
