Soft in base yet radiant in detail, the Papier-Mâché Noor Gul Sozni Merino Stole draws inspiration from the luminous palettes and geometric florals of Kashmiri papier-mâché.
Set on an ivory-toned merino wool base, the embroidery unfolds in a rhythmic arrangement of floral medallions and paisley borders. Shades of sky blue, sunflower yellow, coral pink, and hints of black outlining come together with remarkable clarity—each colour chosen to enhance contrast while preserving balance. The lighter ground allows the embroidery to glow, giving the piece an airy yet intricate presence.
Entirely hand-embroidered in fine Sozni work, this Stole is the result of sustained focus and discipline. Every motif is outlined, filled, and refined stitch by stitch—a process that demands not just skill, but endurance. The repetition you see is not mechanical; it reflects hours of steady hands returning to the same forms until symmetry feels natural, almost effortless.
The fine merino wool drapes softly and wears lightly, making the Stole comfortable across seasons. Finished with a delicately embroidered border and a subtle solid panel, the piece feels composed and thoughtful—ornate without excess.
A Stole that speaks softly, yet carries the weight of time, care, and human touch.
Soft and warm, with a gentle texture and comfortable drape.

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.
