From the changing colors of Kashmir to the hands that give them form.
There are colours we remember without trying.
The soft ombré mauve-pink and green of the landscape at daybreak. Earth and foliage softened by morning mist. Yellow, apricot and rose warming the sky as daylight begins to disappear. Deep burgundy lingering after dusk. Midnight blue beneath a garden of stars.
For Autumn Winter 2026, we began with the colors of a day.
Nature Becomes the Palette
The story moves from first light to midnight, drawing from the skies, earth, foliage and changing light of Kashmir.
But nature is more than the inspiration behind the colours. Pashmina itself begins with nature, before passing through generations of knowledge and the hands of the artisans who continue to work with it today.
The landscape gives us the beginning. The artisans give it form.
Something Is Changing at the Loom
For generations, the making of Pashmina has been guided by time, precision and the human hand.
For our next chapter, those traditions remain unchanged at their heart. But something within the process is taking on a different form.
The loom is being specially set and measured to new proportions.
Colour is being considered differently. Familiar techniques are being brought into a new scale. And slowly, through the hands of our artisans in Kashmir, something we have never introduced before is beginning to take shape.
What it becomes, we are keeping to ourselves for a little longer.
A Familiar Craft, A New Expression
For us, preserving Pashmina does not mean keeping it still.
It means allowing an extraordinary tradition to continue living within the present, while respecting the knowledge, materials and hands that have carried it forward.
The fibre remains. The hand remains. The craft remains.
Only the expression is changing.
For now, we leave you with the landscape, the colours and a glimpse of what is taking shape in Kashmir.
Soon, the new proportions will make sense.
