Kani Kashmiri Pashmina Shawl

A refined example of Kashmiri weaving excellence, this Striped Kani Kashmiri Pashmina Shawl is meticulously handwoven using the traditional Kani technique, one of the most revered textile traditions of Kashmir.

Crafted in pure Kashmiri Pashmina, the shawl features a rhythmic vertical stripe composition with delicate floral and paisley motifs woven seamlessly into the fabric. The design is created using hundreds of small wooden bobbins (kanis), where each colour is interlocked directly into the weave, resulting in a smooth, embroidery-free surface with exceptional clarity and durability.

The muted ivory and charcoal base is accented with soft pastel hues of blush, teal, moss, and indigo, giving the shawl a balanced, understated elegance. Unlike heavily ornate Jamawar layouts, this piece reflects a lighter Kani aesthetic, prized for its versatility, wearability, and timeless appeal.

Kani weaving is among the most expensive and time-intensive Kashmiri textile techniques, requiring months of skilled craftsmanship. The precision of the pattern and the finesse of the weave make this shawl a true heirloom.
