A jewel like array of graceful floating Himalayan Flowers and arcing vines adorn this luxurious hand embroidered shawl from Kashmir. The rich Black field is beautifully embellished throughout with an outline embroidery style referred to as “Paper Maiche” where each design motif is filled in with softly contrasting, rich hues of Blush Peach, Peach, and Soft Olive Green. The technique is so named because it follows the same type of patterns found on the highly decorative Kashmiri paper maiche gift crafts. This is a quite romantic and elegant shawl to be treasured for a lifetime.

This exclusive lighter mid-weight wool shawl is adorned with a polished style that spontaneously draws admiring notice to the superb embroidery created by the finest artisans of Kashmir with dedication and genuine care. Embroidered shawls of this caliber take many months to complete, and are often paced along with production of shawls calling for less demanding styles of adornment, affording the artist a much needed rest for the eyes and also a break from the intense levels of concentration required for the finest embroideries.

Equally enjoyable as an evening shawl to attend the performing arts, special events, or as a perfect accessory to bring quick transformation from day wear to evening attire, this lovely embroidered shawl is also delightful when draped softly around the neck or across the shoulders to smarten a business suit. Fashioned of fine twist, downy soft Lambswool spun and woven in Kashmir for a gentle and warm touch, this wonderful full size shawl would be a welcome addition to any shawl lover’s treasure chest.
