Silsilah Masterwork

3 pieces · $1,095–$1,350

One-of-one pieces — Kani-woven shawls and fine embroidery, each requiring approximately nine months from a single karigar.

Kani pieces carry their pattern woven directly into the fabric using small wooden spool-needles, not applied afterward [source: Craft heritage documentation]. Embroidered Masterwork pieces carry a thicker, more sculptural border than the Signature line. See our Kani weave guide for the full technique.

Every piece here is genuinely one of one. When it sells, an identical piece does not exist.

Questions about Silsilah Masterwork

What is a Kani shawl?
A Kani shawl is a pure pashmina shawl woven on a traditional pit loom using small wooden spools, each carrying a single colour of thread, to create patterns directly in the weave rather than stitching them on afterward.
How long does a Masterwork piece take to make?
Approximately nine months, whether Kani-woven or embroidered — each piece is the work of a single karigar.
