about the piece,

Description

A paisley is never merely a motif; it is a memory folded into cloth. Amritsar has long been the northern custodian of the Jamawar tradition, a weaving and printing heritage that once dressed the courts of the Mughals and the merchants of the Silk Road. This stole carries that lineage into a lighter register, rendered in modal, a fabric prized for its silk-like drape and its quiet generosity against the skin. The tri-colour palette is distributed across a ground of printed paisleys, each boteh composed with the restrained confidence that Amritsari craftsmen bring to their pattern-making. Modal's breathability makes this a stole for all seasons, equally at ease in the dry heat of the plains and the cool of an air-conditioned evening. The Jamawar print, with its dense, layered repeat, references the original brocade weave while remaining accessible to daily wear. Drape it loosely over a cotton kurta for an afternoon in the city, or let it fall across the shoulders of a solid-toned anarkali, where its geometry will quietly do the work of jewellery.

the story,

Behind this piece

Jamawar, whose name derives from the Persian for "body of a flower," has roots in the royal ateliers of Kashmir, where woven shawls once took years to complete on drawlooms. Amritsar, long a centre of textile trade along the Grand Trunk Road, became a home for printed interpretations of this tradition, translating the dense floral and paisley grammars of the original into ink on cloth. This stole honours that lineage, rendering the archetypal boteh motif across a tri-colour ground in modal, a fabric whose drape echoes the soft fall of true pashmina.

to wear it,

How to style

Drape this stole loosely over an ivory Lucknowi chikankari kurta for a festive afternoon lunch, and let the printed paisleys carry the ornamentation. For evening, fold it lengthwise over a silk slip dress in ivory or deep burgundy and anchor the look with silver jhumkas from Rajasthan. On cooler days, knot it simply at the neck over a fine merino turtleneck worn with straight-leg trousers and kolhapuri flats. The tri-colour palette travels across seasons, making it equally at ease at a gallery opening or a family Diwali gathering.

Fabric & care

Modal is derived from beech-wood cellulose and rewards gentle handling. Hand-wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation to a minimum to preserve the printed colours. Never wring; press the fabric gently between two clean towels to remove excess water. Lay flat in shade to dry, as prolonged sun exposure can fade the print over time. Store folded, not hung, to prevent the fibres from stretching. Keeping it wrapped in muslin or soft cotton between wears will protect both the surface and the depth of colour for years.

Each piece is hand-loomed by artisan clusters we work with directly across India. Small irregularities in the weave are the hallmark of handloom — not a defect.
