You cannot go wrong with a piece of Kashmiri fashion. The looms of the valley produce some of the most desirable shawls, jackets, and sarees of traditional ethnic fashion. This gorgeous jacket is a fine example of the signature Kashmiri workmanship. Dyed the blue of the valley's beauteous lakes, one would attribute the stunning shimmer of the fabric to its pure silk make. As feminine as it is elegant, this jacket would work wonders should you team this with an evening suit or saree, or even a statement-making western outfit.

And it is not just the fabric or the luscious blue dye that makes it so distinctly Indian. It is the panels of endemic ari embroidery that runs down the front along the entire length of the jacket, around the hem, and at the ends of the loose full sleeves. The colour palette comprises of vibrant selections of pastels, and the highly characteristic motifs are of the richly colorued foliage to be found in abundance in Kashmir. The skill required to put together this stunning embroidery has been passed onto present-day artisans of the valley across generations of working with rudimentary needles, crochets, and crewels. Layer your outfit with this one-of-a-kind jacket and walk into any traditional gala like a queen.
