Words won't do any justice to this Pashmina shawl which manifests charm of a unique kind. A Kashmiri Pashmina shawl handwoven to a perfect precision, is enriched with the art of Kalamkari which transforms this masterpiece into a treasure, making onlookers immersed in its obsession. The word Kalamkari is made up of two terms, 'Kalam' meaning 'Pen/Brush' and 'Kari' means 'work'. Hence the word Kalamkari literally translates to Pen or Brush work. Kalamkari work is one of the main traditional works of India and is represented in many art forms of the country. The exclusive characteristic for a Kalamkari shawl would definitely be the fine details and the careful mix of colours in this intricate hand drawn pen/brush work. When a Pashmina is chosen for Kalamkari, it has to be sent to an artist called Kalamkar(a specialist of Kalamkari). Kalamkar uses materials like bamboo or other wooden pens with flat nibs called Kalams, dips them in inks which are made from vegetable derived pigments, and creates marvellous designs all over the lush fabric. It is later hand embroidered in multicoloured threads to make the motifs more prominent and beautiful. Toosh Brown(Taupe) with soft multi-colored Kalamkari Embroidery on the border and Palla(Front Panel on both sides), makes it a very special piece.
