BEAUTY OF SWATI SHAWL!

It almost takes a village of Swati women to create on pashmina, detailed is the handiwork on delicate thin threads of pure lamb wool. The motifs are inspired by the flowers adorning the plains of the valley and inspired its artisans to create autumn hues and spring blossoms on a dyes canvas of pashmina. A fully worked pashmina is a sight to behold and as intricate as a renaissance painting.
