Description

Kashmir Loom bridges centuries of heritage with the vibrancy of modern design, weaving together the timeless elegance of Kashmir’s pashmina tradition with the geometric beauty of Kuwait’s Sadu weaving. Through contemporary exploration and innovation, Kashmir Loom reimagines these ancient textile arts—born from the Changthang plateau's nomadic livelihoods and Kashmir's centuries-old weaving mastery—into pieces that honor the past while speaking to the present. Each shawl tells a story: from the hand-combed undercoat of the Changra goat to the skilled hands of artisans who spin, dye, and embroider the fabric with precision and soul. In this cultural dialogue, the bold motifs of Sadu meet the delicate finesse of Sozni and Kani, creating a collection that is both rooted and visionary.
