intricately hand embroidered heirloom cashmere shawl

But not only is the embroidery done completely by hand, the weaving is also done by hand.  The craft of shawl-weaving came to Kashmir seven centuries ago from eastern Persia and central Asia.  No machinery or electricity was used to make this wrap - and even the cashmere goats themselves were carefully and lovingly hand-shorn.  Made from the rarest and finest undyed cashmere, grown in the Kashmir Valley, using weaving techniques and arts from the 15th century Persia, a shawl like this is like no other.  It is the definition of wearing something pure and magical.  And just like the techniques used the make this shawl have been passed down through the generations, the shawl itself will also be something to pass down, from one generation to the next.
