Velvet Shawl

The Ajrakh Silk Velvet Shawl brings together the richness of one of the oldest artisanal printing traditions in a piece that celebrates the beauty of natural materials and handmade craftsmanship.

Crafted from silk velvet, it features an exceptionally soft touch, a delicate sheen, and a luxurious texture that reveals different nuances as it catches the light. As a natural fiber with thermoregulating properties, silk provides comfort across different temperatures, making this shawl a versatile accessory for every season.

Its patterns are created using the ancient Ajrakh Block Printing technique, rooted in Persian textile traditions. This intricate process involves the repeated application of hand-carved wooden blocks onto the fabric, using natural pigments. Each design draws inspiration from the textile heritage of the ancient Silk Road, featuring geometric, organic, and symbolic motifs.

Delicate pom-poms along the edges complete the artisanal finish, adding movement and texture to the piece.

Individually handcrafted, each shawl carries subtle variations that reflect the human touch, making every creation truly unique. These natural irregularities are part of its authenticity, revealing the time, care, and generations of knowledge behind its creation.

Lightweight, elegant, and easy to carry, it also makes a meaningful gift, offering not only the beauty of an accessory but also the history and artistry woven into its creation.
