Natural grey pashmina with a deep black panel across each end, embroidered by hand with a row of copper paisleys between two bands of fine lattice work. The whole shawl is handmade. At the bottom the artisan has embroidered a small chinar leaf, their signature that the piece was made entirely by hand.
The design
The body is left in a plain, soft natural grey so the embroidered panels stand out. Each panel is set on black: a procession of copper paisleys, each standing on a little flowering stem, framed above and below by narrow bands of trellis and star motifs. A spiked edging in soft blue runs along the long sides and around the panels, and the ends finish in a plain grey selvedge.
How it is made
The base is extremely fine Indian pashmina. All the embroidery is worked by hand with a needle; no machine is used anywhere. Look near the bottom and you will find the embroidered chinar leaf, the maker's mark that says this piece was made by hand. The small variations in the stitching are part of that same story.
The colour
Soft natural grey with black, copper and a touch of blue. It is understated enough for everyday wear and pairs beautifully with grey, black, white, navy, rust and earthy tones.
