The constant abundance of natural beauty in the Kashmir valley has inspired Mughal Emperors and generations of skilled artisans alike. The rich flora and fauna are imprinted in almost all the arts and crafts of the region. Like an impressionist painting, Kani shawls beautifully recreate nature-inspired designs using a fine twill tapestry technique, surviving only in Kashmir today.
The Gul Jama shawl features a classic multi-floral design handwoven on our finest pashmina. A careful look reveals the precise geometry, creating an impression of unending repetition.
