Shawl

A shawl is a versatile rectangular, square, or sometimes oblong fabric wrap worn over the shoulders, upper body, arms, or head for added warmth, coverage, and style. Traditionally crafted from fine wool (pashmina, cashmere, merino), silk, cotton, or blends, shawls can be lightweight or thick, plain or exquisitely embroidered and patterned.

Their uses span practical warmth—winter protection, layering at home, travel—to elegant styling for formal occasions and cultural functions. The finest shawls (Kashmir, pashmina, Jamawar, Kani) are celebrated worldwide for their exceptional softness, warmth, and artistic embroidery.
