about the piece,

Description

Woven where the Punjab winter asks for weight and warmth, this pure wool shawl carries the quiet authority of Amritsar's long embroidery tradition. The border is worked in a floral chain stitch that moves with careful rhythm along each edge, while paired paisley motifs anchor the corners with the kind of deliberate grace that only hand-guided needlework can achieve. Pure wool gives the fabric its characteristic drape: dense enough to hold the cold at bay, yet supple enough to fold into a neat wrap without bulk. The ground itself is offered in a considered range of naturals and neutrals, from Bristol Black and Smoke Gray to Cannoli Cream, Ivory, and White Swan, each shade chosen to let the embroidery speak without competition. This is the shawl that suits a winter wedding on the lawns as comfortably as a long evening indoors. Wear it loose over a silk kurta for formal gatherings, or fold it lengthwise over the shoulders as a stole against an evening chill. Either way, the embroidered border remains visible, which is precisely where it deserves to be seen.

the story,

Behind this piece

Amritsar has long been a city where wool finds its finest expression. The shawls woven and embroidered here carry the imprint of a craft tradition shaped by Punjabi artisans who absorbed Kashmiri influences and made them entirely their own. The floral border on this shawl is worked by hand, each motif demanding hours of careful needle-placement. The paisley at each corner, that ancient teardrop form with roots in Persian boteh, anchors the composition with quiet authority. Pure wool from this region drapes with a natural weight that no synthetic fibre can replicate.

How to style

Drape this shawl over a cream silk kurta and straight palazzo trousers for a winter festive gathering; the Cannoli Cream or Ivory colourways work beautifully here. For a Sunday afternoon in cooler months, pin it loosely at the shoulder over a fine merino sweater and tailored trousers. The Bristol Black or Smoke Gray is equally at ease over a formal anarkali at an evening event, paired with oxidised silver jhumkas and block-heeled mojaris. Let the embroidered border face outward in all three instances so the craftsmanship remains visible.

Fabric & care

Pure wool is a living fibre and rewards careful handling. Hand-wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, working gently without wringing or twisting the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and press out excess water between two dry towels. Dry flat in shade, never on a hanger, to preserve the shawl's shape. Store folded, not hung, in a breathable cotton bag with a natural cedar block to deter moths. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. With this attention, the wool and embroidery will remain supple and vivid for many winters.

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.
