This elegant Hand Embroidered open front shawl/cape features a deep dark base beautifully decorated with vibrant floral vines in shades of red, orange, mustard, green, and warm earthy tones. The embroidery flows gracefully along the open front and neckline, creating a rich handcrafted look while allowing the darker background to enhance every intricate detail.
Designed for effortless styling, this versatile open front shawl can be worn traditionally over the shoulders or draped as a graceful cape for a more contemporary look. Its relaxed silhouette makes it easy to layer over dresses, kurtas, trousers, or evening ensembles, adding warmth, color, and artisanal charm without overwhelming the outfit.

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.
