Himalayan Heirloom Shawl
Along with the breathtaking landscape, the mountainous Kashmir region is world-renowned for its master weavers. Local artisans evoke the region's inspirational gardens in this traditional multicolor wool shawl. Swirling floral patterns decorate a background of earthy colors and surround a central field of semisheer black wool.
Please note: This shawl has been one of our biggest photography challenges. Although we rephotographed and color-corrected it for our print catalog, we appreciate that some customers have been disappointed by the discrepancy between the shawl as pictured and how it looks when worn. We updated the photography again in January 2013 for improved color accuracy and revised our online copy, and we plan to photograph the shawl on a model as soon as possible to better illustrate how the black area of the fabric looks when it's worn across one's shoulders. For additional questions, please contact our customer service department at 1-800-437-5521.
Comes in an organza gift bag. 100% wool. Dry clean. Made by artisans in India. Approximately 29"W x 84"L.
