Kani Shawls

What is a Kani Shawl?

A Kani shawl is a traditional Kashmiri shawl handwoven from fine pashmina (cashmere) wool using a special weaving technique instead of embroidery. The wool comes from the soft undercoat of Himalayan goats, making the fabric extremely soft, warm, and lightweight

Kani Cashmere Shawls are luxurious handwoven masterpieces from Kashmir, crafted using pure pashmina wool and a centuries-old weaving technique. Created with small wooden “kanis,” artisans weave intricate paisley and floral patterns directly into the fabric, producing shawls that are incredibly soft, warm, and timeless. Known for their royal heritage and exceptional craftsmanship, Kani shawls represent the finest tradition of Kashmiri textile art.
