The Amritsar Store Handcrafted Kashmiri Floral Stole – Multicolor Traditional Embroidery with Striped Tassels

Wrap yourself in a piece of Himalayan heritage with this exquisite Handcrafted Kashmiri Floral Stole, a masterpiece of art and luxury. Woven on traditional handlooms, this stole is often crafted from 100% Pure Cashmere Pashmina wool, ethically sourced from the Changthangi goats of the Ladakh region. The exceptional quality of the Pashmina offers unmatched softness, warmth, and a butter-soft feel against the skin.

The body of the stole features multicolour stripes, a pattern known in traditional Kashmiri weaving as Khat-rast, which runs along the length of the fabric. This striped background serves as a vibrant canvas for the intricate hand embroidery.

The artistry of Kashmir is brought to life through the elaborate floral embroidery, which may be rendered in the fine Kashmiri needlework known as Sozni Kari. Sozni embroidery typically uses thin needles and silk or cotton threads to create detailed floral and paisley motifs. These colorful, nature-inspired designs—such as the single flower Buti or the multi-floral Buta—are meticulously arranged in a symmetrical pattern across the stole. The level of intricacy in such hand embroidery often requires skilled artisans to dedicate several months to its creation.

Completing this luxurious accessory are the decorative borders and the striped tassels. The pallas (ends) often showcase a delicate, downward-facing floral border, with a border (called a Zanjeer if horizontal, or Hashiya if vertical) running along the edges to frame the main motifs. Tassels at both ends add a graceful and sophisticated finish.
