Craftsmanship

Made by hand, one measured step at a time

Raw Changthangi fiber is hand-sorted and hand-spun to preserve its fine resilience. Each shawl is then woven on a traditional handloom, producing a flexible texture that differs from uniform mechanical cloth.

The process

From fiber to finished shawl

01

Fiber sorting

Raw fiber is sorted by hand to separate the finest strands, removing coarser hair before spinning begins.

02

Hand spinning

The sorted fiber is spun by hand, a slow process that keeps the fiber’s resilience intact.

03

Handloom weaving

Shawls are woven on a traditional handloom, giving the cloth a flexible, individual texture distinct from mechanical production.

04

Fine needlework

Traditional Sozni and Tilla embroidery is worked stitch by stitch, a disciplined process that takes months on a single piece.
