The making of an Aari shawl

Many hands. One shawl.

From carefully chosen fabric to its final presentation, follow the eight stages behind a hand-embroidered Aari shawl.

  1. Fabric

    Fabric selected

    Fine fabric is carefully selected as the foundation for each shawl.

  2. Colour

    Threads meet colour

    The Rangrez dyes the threads in the colours chosen for the design.

  3. Sketch

    Drawn by the Naqash

    The Naqash sketches the pattern, shaping the motifs that will adorn the shawl.

  4. Trace

    Traced onto fabric

    The pattern is carefully traced onto the fabric, creating a guide for the Aari embroidery.

  5. Handwork

    Aari, worked by hand

    With a small hooked needle, the artisan links one chain stitch to the next, following the traced design by hand.

  6. Finish

    Washed and pressed

    The embroidered shawl is washed and pressed, preparing it for its final inspection.

  7. Inspection

    Every detail checked

    The embroidery, loose threads and overall finish are carefully checked before packing.

  8. Presentation

    Wrapped with care

    The finished shawl is nestled in a hand-embroidered Kashmiri bag, ready to be dispatched.

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.
