What
a Shawl is?
A
rectangular or square piece of cloth, which is loosely worn over the
shoulders, and can also cover the upper body, arms and the head. It
is worn after folding, which makes a triangle. Shawl can also be
available in triangular shape. Traditionally, it was a male costume
in Kashmir. The fabric for shawl is used to be of very fine wool,
which is quite warm. Some shawls are produced by so fine wool, that
they can pass through a ring. The shawl can be manufactured in one
color only or in different colors. Fine embroidery of Kashmir on
shawls make them look really attractive. In Western Europe, Indian
shawls are high-fashion women clothing items, which are available in
different patterns like JAMAVAR Paisley and Printed. Shawls provide
added warmth and in today's fashionable world, it is also considered
as must wear clothing accessory. We would try to quench your thirst

Main Features »
The Kashmiri Shawl is rooted in a complex craft tradition that goes
back at least five hundred years. Its uniqueness lies in a
combination of factors that have made it virtually impossible to
duplicate anywhere else. Imitations have abounded for centuries, but
none has succeeded in producing the inimitable delicacy of warp and
weft, of material and design that comprise the legendary beauty of
the jamavar shawl. Enduring as a design classic that has grown out
of an indelible local aesthetic, the shawl’s appeal lies in its
ability to represent continuity as well as change. The Kashmiri
Shawl is the story of this textile re-told through the prism of a
South Asian perspective. The book realigns the design symbolism and
technical evolution of the shawl to indigenous sources by
emphasizing areas previously ignored in earlier histories. The
shawl’s origins in Kashmir, the rich vein of patronage it thrived
on, its changing ornamental face, its regional variations in Persia
and Punjab, its enormous impact on the European imagination, all
combine to form a narrative shaped to engage both the general reader
and the specialist. The authors bring fresh clarity to the many
myths that have arisen around the Kashmiri shawl on the South Asian
trade circuit. They also elucidate most of the complexities in the
Kashmiri shawl lexicon. Today, possessing one of these jewel-like
collectables is like owning a tiny stake in the heritage of its
many-layered cultural identities.
