Behind this piece
Aari embroidery takes its name from the hooked needle that Kashmiri craftsmen have wielded for centuries across the valley's storied ateliers. Unlike the counted-stitch discipline of Sozni work, Aari moves with a painter's freedom, tracing flame-like paisleys and chinar-leaf motifs across pure wool with a fluency that rewards close inspection. The autumn-blaze palette here echoes the chinars of Srinagar in October, that brief, burning window before snowfall. This jacket is made to order, meaning each piece begins its life only when yours is chosen. Kashmir's craft carries that patience into every stitch.
How to style
Wear this jacket over a cream or ivory handloom kurta in fine cotton or silk, and let the embroidery carry all the colour. A pair of straight-cut churidar trousers in deep ivory completes the line cleanly. For a cooler evening, layer it over a plain merino turtleneck and slim trousers. A Navratna choker or simple gold jhumkas complement the autumnal warmth without competing. For footwear, consider tan leather mojris or a low block-heeled kolhapuri. This jacket suits a festival gathering, a cultural evening, or a considered winter wedding as a guest.
Fabric & care
Pure Kashmiri wool rewards restraint in care. Dry-clean is always the first recommendation, particularly for pieces with dense Aari embroidery, as water and agitation can distort the hooked chain-stitch loops. If hand-washing becomes necessary, use cool water and a wool-specific mild detergent, and never wring the fabric. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct sunlight, which will fade the warm tones. Store folded, never on a hanger, as wool stretches under its own weight. Cedar blocks discourage moths without chemical residue. A well-kept Kashmiri jacket lasts decades.
