Of particular popularity is the Pashmina shawl, which is soft, light, finely woven and yet very warm. Traditional shawl hand- weaving is a complex process that requires great concentration, delicacy and patience. In the late 18th century, this process was semi- automated with the introduction of the power- loom. Operation of this loom demands skill and dexterity from the artisan, but allows quicker and more affordable shawl production. The new power- loomed shawls have gained appeal and demand the world over. Our shawls are power- loomed by Kashmiri artisans. They are made from pure cashmere wools. ur furniture throws are hand made by indigenous textile workers of the region from pure local materials. Our textiles are guaranteed to be of top quality, durable and color- fast. More Images:These are Authentic South Asian Shawls & Sofa Throws.
