Colorful Kashmir Wool Blanket - Turquoise
Sold Out
The Kashmir Blanket is a wonderfully colorful blanket that is woven in Kashmir, India of soft and warm merino wool. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalaya, Kashmir is the original source for cashmere that was then exported to colonial Britain. Kashmir became famous for its soft materials as well as its rich designs and patterns. Local artisans create each 'one-of-a-kind' blanket to reflect the traditional designs of this exotic region.
These blankets make a great bedspread, add color to a sofa or chair, or throw over your shoulders as a shawl. Our favorite is to curl up at home with one on a cold night and watch a movie!

100% Natural Pashmina Shawl
$295.00
These amazing Natural Pashmina shawls are handmade from the finest quality cashmere in the world. The famed Pashmina, or Changthangi, goat was at the heart of the cashmere trade that started centuries ago in Kashmir where 'pashmina' literally translates to 'soft gold." Cashmere is made in many places around the world. The secret to pashmina is that it only comes from this special goat that lives high in the Ladakhi Himalaya.
Today, these light brown and cream goats wander the high elevations of the Indian Himalaya with their 'Changpa' herders. After spending the winter above 13,500 feet, they bring their goats down to the valleys in the summer and comb out the under fleece from their herds. The herders sell the raw pashmina to specialized craftsmen who comb, spin and weave the fibre by hand using traditional methods.
Our natural pashmina shawls are 100% pashmina and the color is all natural. These authentic pashmina shawls will add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe!

Organic Cotton Indigo Dress - White Lotus
$178.00
This charming dress is handmade by artisans at our studio in Rajasthan with 100% organic cotton and natural indigo dye. The soft natural fabric breathes, making them ideal for warm weather and relaxed days. This lovely dress is highlighted by sleeping lotus flowers, ready to burst in the morning sun.
The magic of this dress lies in the handmade dabu printing. Dabu is an age-old process that has been perfected over generations in India. A local mud mixture is hand printed on natural cotton cloth using hand-cut wood block prints and left to dry. The cloth is then dipped into the natural indigo vat, where the area with the mud resists the dye, and the rest is colored a beautiful blue. After washing, the secret is revealed. Part of the beauty of dabu fabric lies in fact that each block is placed by the artisan’s hand - what is left behind is an imprint of the personality and character of the blockprinter. Slight variations are to be celebrated.
Fabric: 100% Organic Cotton
Size: This dress is relaxed with plenty of room to breathe.
Care: Fabrics with indigo tend to transfer color. We recommend washing before first usage to remove any surface dyes. Wash separately or with darker colors. Gentle machine wash recommended. Do not dry in the sun to avoid bleaching.
