This Shawl is fine embroidered here in the beautiful Kashmir Valley. We use a tiny needle for embroidery to make sure we have fine stitches. fine embroidery is both men’s and women’s job and we are proud to have some very talented craftswomen associated with us. A shawl takes years to get ready, depends on the intricacy of the pattern. The fabric used for the shawl is pure Cashmere . 100% Natural fabric. It is warm and soft. Thank You !
