There is no doubt that hand-spun hand-woven Kashmiri Kani Shawl is the best fabric one can drape over the shoulders. PERIOD.

On a FROSTY December day, while we sit inside hamaams, wearing -25 degree jackets outside, a sister with fingers numb is weaving #wagguv rugs, thread-by-thread. She dreams of a better winter for kids.
Let us buy from her and make her hard work pay. Also revive a GI craft.

We often celebrate the stunning ‘naqashi’ (painting) of Kashmiri papier-mâché, but ignore ‘𝗦𝗔𝗞𝗛𝗧𝗔’, which
is the meticulous making of the base, soaking paper, beating it into pulp, layering, moulding, drying, coating & sanding until mirror-smooth.
Without flawless sakhta, even the finest naqashi cracks or fades.
