Our Karina pashmina shawl is a so-called “Kaani shawl”. Kaani is a traditional weaving technique from the area of Kanihama in Kashmir and uses small wooden sticks or bobbins which are called “kaani” in the Kashmiri language. Each “kaani” stands for a colour in the colour-coded weaving pattern. These “kaani”-sticks are then interwoven. Kaani weaving is a dying art form and Pelagona is proud to serve as a platform for these beautiful shawls and aims at preserving this heritage by collaborating with local weavers.
The Karina shawl is a colourful interpretation of the Kaani weave and the pattern in different red, yellow and green shades on soft white makes it a piece to stand out. This extra-large shawl is lightweight and fits into any bag, yet, at the same time, it will keep you warm. The beauty of this piece is that it can be dressed up in the evening or dressed down with simple jeans and T-shirt.
The Karina shawl is made of 100% pashmina and was designed with local artisans in Kashmir. Each shawl is handwoven with techniques and patterns which have been passed down for generations. A gem in its own right, it takes a few months to make one Karina shawl. Every item is unique.
Our shawls are available all year.
