The brand is jointly managed by three brothers from the Bala family, specializing in exquisite handmade Pashmina. For the Balas, who are native to Kashmir, Pashmina is more than just an accessory; it represents the region's centuries-old artisanal heritage and cultural legacy, dating back to the 15th century. It embodies the wisdom, emotion, purity, and serenity of each artisan. — Product Description — The art of Pashmina embroidery has been a cherished tradition in Kashmir since the 15th century, introduced by the Persian saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, who arrived with 700 artisans to train locals in various crafts, including Pashmina. Each hand-embroidered piece is the result of over six months of dedicated work by master artisans. These creations are a culmination of intricate embroidery, patience, focus, and faith, embodying the rich, centuries-old craft culture of the Kashmir region. A Pashmina is both an item and a work of art, imbued with heartfelt blessings. Woven from the finest Cashmere wool and exquisite craftsmanship, only Pashmina warrants the dedication of artisans spending over half a year on a single piece. Due to the extensive time and labor involved, fewer and fewer individuals are choosing to create these pieces, making each item truly unique and unrepeatable. Every shawl is entirely handmade, meaning they may not possess the flawless perfection of machine-made items. However, the warmth and unique character of handcraft are qualities machines cannot replicate, and this is the captivating allure of artisanal work. Experience the distinguished beauty of century-old Kashmiri craftsmanship, adding a touch of subtle elegance to your personal style.
