Description

Handwoven in Kashmir from fine pashmina wool, this Kalamkari Jamawar shawl showcases intricate patterns formed directly within the weave. The Jamawar technique creates detailed paisleys and florals as part of the fabric itself, resulting in a seamless and durable design.

The patterns draw from Kalamkari, a traditional art form based on hand-drawn motifs. The term comes from “kalam” (pen) and “kari” (craft), and is known for its flowing, nature-inspired designs such as vines, florals, and paisleys. Here, these elements are translated into the weave rather than printed or embroidered.

Measuring 40 × 80 inches, the shawl has a light, versatile drape and a soft, natural feel characteristic of genuine pashmina. With proper care, it can last for years and be passed down over time.
