A Swati Shahtoosh shawl in brown, handwoven in Salampur, Swat, and finished with a hand-embroidered border along its length.
The name, honestly
Swati Shahtoosh is the name the weavers of Salampur gave to the finest, softest shawl on their looms. It contains no antelope fibre. The yarn is fine Australian wool, spun in China, handwoven one shawl at a time on the handlooms of Salampur, Swat, and then hand-embroidered in Multan. It is light enough to carry through a whole winter day and warm enough to matter in the evening, which is why it is the shawl our customers come back to. Read the full story behind the name.
Classic border embroidery
A hand-embroidered border runs along the length of the shawl, worked in fine thread so it lies flat against the cloth rather than stiffening it. This is the design most of our customers choose for daily wear: enough detail to be noticed, not so much that it competes with what you are wearing underneath.
The colour
A mid brown that works over almost everything in a winter wardrobe: camel, black, cream, denim. It is the kind of shawl that gets worn three days a week without anyone noticing it is the same one.
