Shmaag Border Shawl
Pashmina · Hand-embroidered paisley border

Inspired by the timeless shmaag tradition of Arabian culture — the desert traveller's mark of honour and hospitality — this cream pashmina carries a dense hand-embroidered paisley border in teal, rose and copper. A bridge between Kashmiri craft and Arabian heritage, made to be worn with pride.
A collector's miniature chest of drawers — embossed gold and jewel studding above, soft pink-and-green floral naqashi below, on hand-carved legs. Months of a master painter's work.
APPROX. 30 × 22 × 14 CM · MADE TO ORDER · 3–4 WEEKS
NSF began in a two-loom workshop in downtown Srinagar. Today we work with two dozen families across the valley — pashmina spinners in Ladakh, kani weavers in Kanihama, knotters and sozni embroiderers in the old city. We pay by the piece, not by the hour, and every item carries the name of the hands that made it.
