When she wraps herself in this painting - one that breathes, moves and tells stories, she feels on top of the world for those few moments. An exquisitely handcrafted Kalamkari Pashmina shawl is a celebration of colour, craftsmanship and culture which wraps the wearer in the softest caress ever. The shawl reveals a mesmerising profusion of hand painted motifs, blooming botanicals, swirling vines and paisley trails, all etched with immense attention to detail, creating an artwork that feels regal and luxurious. What makes the shawl extraordinary is not just the motifs, but the unmatched Pashmina base, handwoven out of Pure Ladakhi Pashm. Whisper soft, weightless with an unparalleled warmth, the artisan has hand painted the plush base using age old techniques of Kalamkari, transforming a simple accessory to a collector’s piece. With a timeless appeal, the shawl is perfect as a traditional keepsake, winter weddings, heirloom gifting or just adding a touch of your traditions to your newly shopped winter ensembles
About the Craft
Kalamkari comes from two Persian words: “kalam” (pen/brush) and “kari” (craftsmanship). It is one of the oldest forms of textile art in India, dating back over 3,000 years. Traditionally, artisans used natural dyes and a bamboo pen to paint mythological tales, flora, fauna, and intricate patterns onto fabric. The process is labor-intensive, involving up to 23 steps, including treating the fabric with natural mordants, hand-drawing outlines, filling colors with vegetable-based dyes, and finally detailing the motifs. Over time, Kalamkari has evolved - from temple hangings and storytelling textiles to fashion-forward accessories like Pashmina shawls and stoles. When paired with embroidery, it gains a three-dimensional richness, making each piece not just wearable art but also a cultural heirloom.
Pashmina Care
Always dry clean your pure Pashmina for the safest care. But if hand washing, use cold water and Pashmina/Cashmere shampoo. Do not wring or twist. Always squeeze the water out gently. Dry your Pashmina by placing it between two clean towels and rolling them together. Air dry, do not hang. Do not place it under direct sunlight for drying.
Store your Pashmina at a clean, dry place. To keep it safe from moths, fold it neatly, wrap it in a muslin cloth, and store it with neem or cedar. Pashmina will last for generations if handled with care.
Before you receive your Pashmina, Please Note:
Authentic Pashmina is woven and embroidered by artisans manually. There can be irregularities in weave or embroidery showing the meticulous manual work of artisans. Note that these are not flaws but marks of authenticity that make your piece truly one of a kind
