The Heirloom

RIVORA belongs to a selection of Indus Weavers pieces defined by exceptional time, complexity and craftsmanship. Its tight handloom weave creates a finely structured Pashmina canvas upon which Kalamkari painting and embroidery are developed entirely by hand.

Taking up to 16 months to complete, it carries the work of the artisan through every stage of its making. Created slowly and in limited expression, RIVORA is intended not for a single season, but to be worn, preserved and eventually passed on — an heirloom shaped by both material and time.

100% Pashmina / Cashmere. (Authentic, has no mix of Viscose, Silk etc.)

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.
