A poncho is a fun and flirtatious layering option. A well-chosen one could jazz up the most everyday of your outfits, and this ethnic one would serve just the purpose. It has been handpicked from Kashmir, a region known for both the warmth and the aesthetics of its fabrics. This poncho comes in a variety of pale pastel foundations, from amongst which you are welcome to choose the one that goes best with your personality. What makes this a statement piece of garment is the world of ariwork that gives away its singular Kashmiri origin.

Superfine needles with a rudimentary crochet at one end are used by local Kashmiri artisans to create this superbly beautiful embroidery. The continuous chain stitches of the motifs - you could zoom in on the same to appreciate the high-precision handiwork - are supported by a number of smaller, straighter stitches underneath, which puts this work in the broad category of crewel embroidery. The colour palette is distinctly youthful and natural, and traces of matching coloured makeup on the phase would best serve to bring out its beauty.
