The tradition of making papier-mâché decorative objects came to the Kashmir Valley from Iran in the 15th century. It's a painstaking, time consuming and highly skilled technique that is in danger of dying out, as it's challenged by technology and today's fast paced world. We at Merchant Campbell love supporting those artisans who've learned their trade and skills from their father before them, and their fathers before. And we're thrilled to have been able to support them so they can work from home in a Covid safe manner.
