Embroidered into our History
At Kashmira, we aim to provide a platform to small and authentic artisans from Pakistan and give them an opportunity to showcase their talent and products to a worldwide audience.
The practice of craftsmanship and traditional arts are deeply embedded in Pakistan’s rich cultural history. This work showcases the ancient traditions and aesthetics of the artisans who create them and that have been creating them for centuries. The history of Pakistan can be told through each handicraft as each piece is an element of storytelling. Through the various styles of embroidery, color combinations and fabric selection, we learn about the antique discipline of each craftsperson.

Mughlai Jamawar Pashmina
Having a rich history, these shawls have antique patches stitched on them. These patches are over 300 years old and are hand stitched on original pashmina shawls, making the product extremely rare, valuable and very unique. The shawl is original pashmina, lightweight and ideal for keeping your warm.
Nalki Jaal Pashmina
These Nalki Jaal shawls are reminiscent of an era of prosperous Kashmiri heritage. The term “Nalki” refers to this specific motif style and manner of skill work. The unique threadwork is famously found in the Peshawar and Kashmir region of Pakistan. The silk embroidery on these shawls is all done via hand by the artisans.
Ari Jaal Pashmina
Our Ari Jaal shawls are a culmination of intense craftsmanship. This type of embroidery work is done by stretching the fabric tightly over a wooden frame. “Jaal” which typically means web, refers to the process of pulling the warp and weft threads apart with a needle. These extra cozy pashminas are unforgettable with their intricate threadwork.
