A Sozni shawl taking shapeSeven scenes show fabric selection and its weave, thread skeins slowly taking up dye, a carved Chapai block printing fine outlines, straight-needle hand embroidery, washing and careful pressing, inspection of stitches and edges, and the finished shawl folded into an embroidered bag.

Fine fabric is selected as the foundation for the shawl.

Our Family Archive

A 150-Year Family Legacy

Our Great-Grandfather

Peerzada Saif-Ud-Din

Our great-grandfather began working with Kashmir’s master craftsmen around 150 years ago, beginning a family relationship with Kashmiri craft that continues to this day.

Our Grand Father & his brothers

Peerzada Bashir-Ud-Din

Our grandfather, together with his brothers, carried the family’s work beyond Kashmir. They travelled across India, including Allahabad and Varanasi, introducing Kashmiri craftsmanship to customers far beyond the Valley and building relationships across the country.

Our Father & his brother

Peerzada Naseer Ahmad

Our father and his brother worked alongside our grandfather from the ground up, helping shape every part of the business. They expanded manufacturing, built a strong wholesale presence in the local Kashmiri market, and established the family business as a trusted and respected name in Kashmir.

Fourth Generation

Noumaan & Hamees

Today, the fourth generation carries the family’s work forward through KashmKari. Building on the relationships, craftsmanship and knowledge passed down through our family, we are taking Kashmiri craft directly to customers around the world while continuing to work with artisans here in Kashmir.
