Pure Kashmiri Pashmina Kani Shawl - Ivory & Cobalt

Rs.18,000.00

A pure Kashmiri pashmina Kani shawl on a pale ivory ground, handwoven with cobalt and olive flowering sprays across the full field and a deep arched border at each end.

Kani is the oldest and slowest of Kashmir's shawl techniques. The pattern isn't printed or embroidered onto the cloth — it is built into the weave itself, colour by colour, using small wooden bobbins called kanis. The weaver follows a coded pattern script and may complete only an inch or two in a day, which is why a piece like this is measured in months of work rather than hours.

The palette here is unusually restrained for a Kani: cobalt and soft olive on ivory rather than the deep reds and golds the technique is known for. It reads quieter and more contemporary, and it works with pale and neutral clothing where a heavily coloured shawl would take over. The end border, with its row of arches, is the most densely woven part of the piece.

Details

  • Pure Kashmiri pashmina
  • Kani handwoven on the loom, not embroidered or printed
  • All-over floral field with a wide arched end border
  • Approx. 40" × 80"
  • Dry clean only
  • Handwoven in Kashmir

Each shawl is one of a kind. Slight irregularity in the weave is inherent to handloom work and is the mark of an authentic Kani piece.
