{"product_id":"swati-shahtoosh-shawl-charcoal-rust-border","title":"Swati Shahtoosh Shawl — Charcoal with Rust Border, Hand Embroidered","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Swati Shahtoosh shawl in deep charcoal, left plain across the whole field and framed on all four sides by a narrow hand-embroidered border of flowering vine in rust, copper and saffron, with a paisley set into each corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlock-printed, then embroidered by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe design does not go straight onto the cloth. It is first printed on with carved wooden blocks — an outline in washable ink that maps every vine, leaf and petal the embroiderer will follow. The blocks themselves are cut by a separate craftsman and a workshop may use the same set for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe embroiderer then works the design by hand over that printed line. The ink washes out at the end, leaving only thread. It is worth understanding what this does and does not mean: the block guarantees the \u003cem\u003eplacement\u003c\/em\u003e is even and the borders match corner to corner, but every stitch, every colour change and all the shading is still done by hand, one needle at a time. A printed shawl would be finished at the printing stage. This one is where the work begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA plain field and a worked edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe whole design sits at the edge, so the cloth itself is what you notice first — the fine self-coloured lattice in the weave, and the way charcoal reads as warm grey in daylight and near-black in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRust against charcoal is the reason to choose this one. It is a single warm line drawn around a cold, neutral ground: enough colour to lift a plain shawl, not enough to tie it to one outfit. It goes with black, grey, cream, denim and camel without argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwati Shahtoosh — woven in Swat, KPK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-embroidered border on all four sides with corner paisleys; plain field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign block-printed first, then embroidered by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 40\" × 80\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only — store folded and away from direct light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach shawl is embroidered by hand, so slight variation between pieces is expected and is the mark of hand work rather than a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShips in Attan's branded box with a thank-you card, ready to gift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53910194618662,"sku":"ATT-SWS-CHR-018","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/4458\/3462\/files\/3bdbae54-acc3-4b5c-b4a5-c26ab024b0cd.jpg?v=1789802375","url":"https:\/\/www.attanstore.com\/products\/swati-shahtoosh-shawl-charcoal-rust-border","provider":"Attan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
