Kashmir Shawl Collections
As wondrous as the first green leaf of spring high up in the Himalayan range, as intense as the blue sky of a perfect summer day and orchards filled with apples and cherries, as festive as the harvest of fall and maple leaves blazing a fiery orange across the Kashmir valley, and as breathtaking as the first snowfall of winter covering the mystic land in a pure white blanket – Seasons Shawl Collections is an exclusive, exquisite, and timeless collection of hand made and hand embroidered shawls from Kashmir meant for only those with the most distinctive taste.
The Kashmir Ivory Shawl Collection
Kashmir Shawl Collections
Kashmir valley is referred by locals as ‘Paradise on Earth’. Surrounded by the snow capped mountain ranges of the mighty Himalayan ranges, this is a land of magnificent Himalayan glaciers, luxuriant white flowers blooming in the almond orchards, flocks of snow white sheep grazing in the highland pastures, white waters of mountain streams gushing down into the meandering river Jhelum and fluffy white clouds reflected in the majestic Wular lake and the beautiful Dal lake as they float by in the clear blue sky.
Each an ‘ivory’ vignette of the beautiful spring-summer season in Kashmir. And as winter arrives, a white blanket of snow covers the surrounding mountains and Kashmir valley, freezing the many lakes and turning the valley into a winter wonderland.
Kashmir Shawl Collections
Inspired by the beauty of white captured so eloquently by nature in Kashmir, we have created the Ivory collection – an exclusive offering of elegant 100% hand embroidered Kashmir shawls in shades of ivory on 100% Kashmir wool.

The Kashmir Reshum Silk Shawl Collection
Kashmir Shawl Collections
In For many centuries the Great Silk Road connected a complex network of trade routes from Europe with Asia. The route was so named as silk was considered more expensive than gold and was rare and expensive in the west. Trade caravans, diplomatic missions, merchants representatives of religious circles, dervishes, warriors and millions passed on this road through time, one of the most famous travelers being Marco Polo in the 13th century. A second trade route joined the Great Silk Road across the Khunjerab pass, that linked Kashmir and the capital of Punjab, Taxila.
Kashmir Shawl Collections
For Kashmir, the Great Silk Road was not only the trade lifeline, but also routed all the religious, social and cultural influences that shaped the destiny of this land. Hieuen Tsaing, the great Chinese traveler came to Kashmir walking on this road. This road was also used by the great Sufi saints of Central Asia who came to Kashmir and spread the light of Islam.
Kashmir Shawl Collections
‘Reshum’ in Urdu language means silken thread.
Inspired by the Great Silk Road, the Kashmir Reshum Shawl Collection is an exquisite collection of shawls made of 100% Kashmir silk. The intricate silk hand-embroidery on these lustrous shawls further enhances the beauty of these very exotic and one-of-a-kind shawls.
The Kashmir Paisley Shawl Collection
Kashmir Shawl Collections
Kashmir shawl has been characterized by the boteh (or buta,meaning flower),the principal motif with which the shawl is associated. This repetitive curvilinear shape has been known by many names since its first appearance on shawls in the eighteenth century - most famously called paisley. The development of the Kashmir shawl is closely related to the development of the boteh motif; the motif’s different forms express different periods in the shawl’s development. It began in the Mogul period as the flowering plant and by the middle of the nineteenth century it had developed into an extremely stylized form of sweeping sinuous curves far removed from any resemblance of nature’s flora.
Kashmir Shawl Collections
The Kashmir Paisley Shawl Collection is all about the ‘boteh’ design that Kashmir shawls are famously associated with. Hand embroidered on 100% Kashmir wool, all shawls in this shawl collection have a myriad of paisley designs ranging from the simple to the very complex using naturally colored bright threads that further emphasize the beauty of this famous motif.
The Kashmir Nishaat Shawl Collection
Kashmir Shawl Collections
Nishaat Garden was created in the mid 17th century on the shores of the beautiful Dal Lake in Kashmir valley by the brother of the Mogul Empress Noor-Jahan. A tiered garden that descends gradually to almost merge into the Dal lake (the 12 tiers symbolizing the 12 signs of the zodiac) is home to many unique plants and flower species, and is especially breathtaking in spring. Against a backdrop of the Zabarwan mountains and the majestic Pir-Panjal ranges of the Himalayas this 350 year old tiered garden even today continues to capture the imagination with its majesty and beauty as it did when created for the Mogul Empress centuries back.
Kashmir Shawl Collections
Inspired by the beauty of this famous garden we have created the Nishaat Collection of hand embroidered shawls. This shawl collection, just as its inspiration, is elegant and timeless and has been hand embroidered using traditional skills that is as old as the garden itself. The shawls are 100% hand embroidered on 100% Kashmir wool, by master shawl craftsman from Kashmir, with sinuous vines and flowers that capture the breathtaking colors of the seasons in Nishaat Garden. Symbolic of new beginnings, the stunning shawls in the Nishaat Shawl Collection are perfect to make any occasion memorable and any moment special.
The Far Pavilions Shawl Collection
In a famous magazine founded by Charles Dickens, an article in 1852 read : ‘ If an article of dress could be immutable, it would be the Kashmir shawl ; designed for eternity in the unchanging east; copied from patterns which are the heirlooms of caste; and woven by fatalists, to be worn by adorers of the ancient garment, who resent the idea of the smallest change…’.
Inspired by this myth and romance associated with the Kashmir shawl and the ‘unchanging and mythical east’, we present the Far Pavilions shawl collection which has intricately hand embroidered wraps with beautiful floral designs on 100% Kashmir pashmina, wool and silk.
The Kohinoor Shawl Collection
The Taj Mahal is the symbol of one of world’s greatest love stories , of a King’s love and devotion for his beautiful queen , and the tomb he built for her to lay for eternity. Kohinoor was the diamond installed on top of Taj Mahal’s famous dome, known to have been the largest diamond of that period, desired by none other than the Queen of England. Many wars were fought over the Kohinoor, eventually the Kohinoor was acquired by the British empire when India was its colony and was sent as a gift to the Queen.
Inspired by one of world’s most beautiful and desired diamonds, the Kashmir Kohinoor shawl collection consists of some of our finest and most exclusive shawls in bright jewel colors. The shawls are 100% Kashmir wool, cashmere and pashmina with delicate and full embroidery.
The Empress Josphine Shawl Collection

Consisting of a selective few exclusively commissioned shawls, each imperial heirloom quality shawl in this shawl collection is hand woven of the finest Himalayan pashmina wool. Exquisitely hand embroidered, these shawls have each taken about 6-12 months to complete. The embroidery style of these shawls is sozni embroidery.
This exclusive luxury shawl collection is an ode to the Kashmir artisan, reflecting the very best of their royal craftsmanship.
The Mughal Shawl Collection
The Moguls, inhabitants of the vast steppe land of Central Asia , were a race of warlike nomads who conquered northern India in the early part of the sixteenth century. Under Mughal rule, Kashmir abandoned its isolation and attracted settlers from all over Asia. As renaissance was flourishing in the west, the orient too was experiencing great artistic achievements. The Mughal period represents an important and prosperous moment for the Kashmir shawl especially the Kani shawl. Kani shawls are weaved using special types of wooden needles ‘tojis’ and requires intricate weaving skills and lengthy time.
One-of-a-kind Ivory Shawl
This hand embroidered Kashmir wool Ivory Shawl is one of the most exquisite and exclusive offerings of Kashmir Ivory Shawl Collection. A riot of colors, this masterpiece has been created by an award winning Kashmir craftsman, his art inherited from past generations as a family tradition. The entire body of the shawl is covered with hand embroidered small and large flowers, buds, leaves and vines in colors that capture the bounty of nature in spring and summer. This shawl has taken the artist 4 months to hand-embroider and much attention has been paid while hand embroidering to ensure that every little detail of the patterns and motifs are captured.

Silk Shawls
Beautiful hand spun Kashmir raw aspen Gold Silk Shawl with elegant hand-embroidery make this silk shawl unique and absolutely stunning.
