AYA Pure Pashmina Shawl | Kalamkari Peacock Embroidery- Archive

Experience the union of textile mastery and traditional Indian art with AYA, a handwoven Kalamkari Pashmina shawl crafted from 100% pure Pashmina wool in Kashmir.

Set against a bold black base, intricate hand-embroidered peacocks and birds emerge in refined tones of grey, blue, and multicolour accents — a tribute to classical Kalamkari storytelling. Each motif is stitched entirely by hand over 18 months by master artisan Shawkat, reflecting extraordinary patience and precision.

The medium-tight handloom weave offers structure and warmth, while maintaining a smooth, luxurious drape. Weighing approximately 500 grams, AYA provides substantial presence without stiffness — ideal for weddings, formal occasions, and statement heirloom styling.

Unlike printed imitations, this shawl is entirely handcrafted from weaving to embroidery. No mechanical replication. No shortcuts.

Each piece includes a complimentary hand-embroidered Pashmina pocket square — a subtle extension of the artwork.

AYA is not simply a shawl — it is wearable art rooted in heritage, created to be admired, worn, and passed down.

Is this pure Pashmina?

Yes. Our pure Pashmina pieces are crafted from 100% authentic Pashmina, sourced from the exceptionally fine undercoat of the Changthangi goat native to the Himalayan highlands of Ladakh. Each product's material composition is clearly stated in its description.

Where is it crafted?

Every IndusWeavers Pashmina is meticulously handwoven and finished in Kashmir by skilled artisans, preserving generations of traditional craftsmanship. We work directly with our artisans, honouring their expertise and ensuring authenticity at every stage.

How can I recognise the handmade details?

The beauty of handcrafted Pashmina lies in its individuality. Subtle variations in the weave, texture and colour are natural characteristics of traditional handloom craftsmanship, making every piece unique.

Depending on the design, you may discover intricate Sozni hand embroidery, traditional Kani weaving or other heritage techniques, each reflecting the remarkable skill and patience of Kashmiri artisans.

Can I test its authenticity at home?

We do not recommend home authenticity tests, such as burning fibres or relying on the ring test, as these methods can damage delicate Pashmina and produce misleading results.

At IndusWeavers, we believe authenticity begins with transparency. If you would like to learn more about the materials, craftsmanship or origin of a particular piece, our team will be delighted to assist you.
