Shawl

Shawls had their beginnings in Persia as part of the traditional wardrobe during the Achaemenid dynasty (about 550 - 330 BCE). These traditional shawls were made of very fine fabric and usually heavily embroidered. As trading flourished, shawls spread to India and then on to other parts of Asia. The shawl is still popular today, and can be found as a part of traditional costumes around the world.

Our shawls are traditionally made from incredibly soft cashmere and pashmina wools, the shawl can be crafted from any type of material, including silk and cotton. They can be worn in a variety of styles to fit any individual's taste, and are an enduring fashion accessory. It can be sewn, knit, or crocheted from any number of types of fibers and fibre combinations.
