The finest quality wool there could ever be, Pashmina is obtained from Changthang region in Ladakh. It is courtesy of the rare Changra goats that are found in this region. From there, it makes its way to Kashmir where it is spun into yarn and woven into fabric. Multiple garments are then fashioned out of this magical gift from the north. Among the many accessories, shawls are the most widely used Pashmina products and one of them is this ethereal piece in a myriad of colors.
The mustard-yellow and the red create a regal contrast that gives a touch of royalty to this piece.
The dance of Kalamkari work on pure Pashmina fabric is truly a sight to behold and is an ode to the rich Kashmiri heritage. The bold paisley motifs have been filled with floral vines by using the traditional Kalamkari technique. This age-old art involves the use of pens and dyes to paint the designs on fabric by hand. The same technique has been implemented on this piece to create intricate multicolored paisley and floral patterns. A circular design in the center, however, is the highlight of this piece. The vivid colours and the detailed pattern create a beautiful visual symphony and make this shawl a celebration of art and culture.
