Kashmir
Valley of Shawls, Carpets & Papier-Mâché
In the valley workshops, wool is spun fine enough for a ring to pass through — the legend of the Kashmiri shawl. Carpets take shape knot by knot, and papier-mâché boxes bloom with floral colour under a lacquered sheen.
From walnut carving to copperware, Kashmir keeps a courtly craft vocabulary shaped by Persian influence and Himalayan patience. What you find here is warmth made by hand — for the body, the floor, and the home.
- Pashmina and raffal shawls woven with needlework so fine it feels weightless
- Hand-knotted carpets carrying Persian floral vocabularies into Kashmiri homes
- Papier-mâché boxes lacquered in jewel tones for gift and ritual
- Walnut wood carved into trays, furniture, and lattice detail
- Copper and silverware finished for the Kashmiri kitchen and ceremonial table
In Kashmir, craft is softness and splendour — wool, wood, and colour against the cold.
