Description
This garment offers a perfect blend of practicality and traditional aesthetic, centered on a highly detailed, all-over pattern. The base of the shawl is the favored Marina fabric, known for its soft, voluminous texture and excellent thermal properties. This substantial material provides reliable warmth and a beautiful, structured drape that holds its shape well.
The shawl is presented in a commanding black colour. This deep, dramatic hue acts as an ideal backdrop for the intricate needlework, enhancing the visibility and complexity of the design. The black color ensures a classic, sophisticated finish, making the shawl suitable for formal occasions or for adding richness to everyday wear.
The true focus of the piece is the Jaal Paisley design karhai (embroidery). Jaal refers to a “net” or “mesh,” indicating that the hand-stitched embroidery covers the entire surface of the shawl, rather than being confined to borders or corners. The Paisley (Buta) motif, a stylized tear-drop shape, is repeated and interconnected across the black field, forming a dense, continuous pattern. This extensive karhai transforms the Marina fabric into a tapestry of thread, lending immense visual weight, texture, and value to the piece.
The result is a warm, durable, and highly intricate Marina shawl, where the timeless elegance of the black colour is completely covered by the rich, heritage-filled craftsmanship of the Jaal Paisley embroidery.
