Description
The foundation is pure Pashmina, the finest grade of cashmere wool. Revered for its lightness, incredible softness, and exceptional warmth, the Pashmina offers a superior drape that is both flowing and ethereal, providing comfort without bulk.
The color palette is a subtle and highly versatile skin colour. This hue typically refers to a gentle, pale beige, light nude, or soft blush tone. This delicate color choice enhances the luxurious nature of the Pashmina, creating an aura of soft sophistication and making the shawl an ideal companion for formal attire where contrast is undesirable.
The distinguishing feature of this piece is the Kashmiri Kingri Karhai (hand embroidery). Kingri specifically refers to a scalloped or fringed edging that frames the shawl. This intricate karhai, executed entirely by hand embrodery, is meticulously stitched along the borders, often featuring fine lines, small stylized florals, or delicate patterns that trace the edge of the fabric. The hand-embroidered work provides a subtle yet rich texture and visual interest, elevating the simple elegance of the plain skin-coloured Pashmina field with a heritage-rich frame.
The resulting garment is a masterpiece of quiet luxury, blending the natural beauty and warmth of Pashmina with the precise, handcrafted refinement of Kashmiri Kingri Karhai.
