Shawls

Handwoven Kinnauri Shawls from the High Himalayas
Kinnauri shawls are an iconic textile tradition of Kinnaur in the High Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, renowned for their distinctive craftsmanship and cultural significance.
Each shawl is handwoven on traditional looms by skilled artisans of the region, preserving a weaving heritage that has been practiced for generations. These shawls are crafted from fine Himalayan sheep wool or blends of sheep wool and angora, providing natural warmth, durability, and softness suited to the mountain climate.
One of the defining features of a Kinnauri shawl is its beautiful woven border with intricate geometric motifs, inspired by traditional symbols and cultural patterns of the Himalayan region. The colourful borders and distinctive designs give every shawl its unique identity.
Kinnauri shawls are part of a Geographical Indication (GI) recognized textile tradition, reflecting the unique craftsmanship associated with the Kinnaur region.
These shawls represent both functional warmth and the rich cultural heritage of Kinnauri handloom weaving.
