Product description
Limited edition pure silk, hand embroidered pashmina shawls. Exquisitely and all-over embroidered in Nakshi Kantha, a truly sensational and a fabulously unique gift.
A gift of pure luxury.
Nakshi Kantha is a traditional running stitch from Bengal, made up of motifs influenced by religion, culture and the lives of the women stitching them. These silk shawls are covered in all-over, illustrative embroidery and showcase the finest of the Nakshi Kantha tradition. These stunning pieces are embroidered by a women producer group in West Bengal using a beautiful hand woven Tussar Silk which has a luxurious feel and slightly slubbed texture. The silk will become exquisitely soft with wear.
Variations
Entirely hand made processes mean this item is eco-friendly. All materials are natural and thus bio-degradable. Handwork is exclusively done by women from highly marginalised communities. This work provides their only opportunity for earning income in their villages. The home-based work is suitable for all women and prevents urban migration.
Each wrap can take up to 3 months to embroider, and all will vary slightly.
Maintaining highest quality levels and use of traditional techniques and motifs ensures this ancient skill is preserved.
