All the Hand Crafted garments and items (Hand Embroidered Shawls, Chainstitch Rugs, Silk Rugs & Papier Mache) that I sell are not mass produced, and are, quite often unique pieces. Hence, I do not have a product range as such, nor a catalogue. I sell what I am sent, and other than colour ranges, I am sent different pieces all the time.

Everything I am sent is assured to be of the highest quality. There are standard quality measures (eg, amount of knots per sq in of a Silk Rug) however quality of craftmanship is never standard, and this is something you can only truly appreciate at first hand. This is why I want these pages to compliment my shows, not replace them. After meeting me and seeing these items, you can trust my quality and information, and buy with confidence.

Please also understand my prices DO NOT reflect the quality. I have kept my prices to an absolute minimum as I believe this is the right way to business. I do not have shop premises, and I Import the goods myself - hence I can keep my prices very low. This does not affect the level of after-sales service you will receive nor the quality of the goods.

Although most of the items are unique in design, I stand by the claim that any item can be reproduced if requested. Therefore, if you have seen a design, either on this site or on the stall, please email me this photo and the size you require, and I will let you know if and when this item can be made available.

Plus I guarantee that if you are dissatified with any product for any reason, I will refund or replace within 7 working days without question.

Product Background

Remaining true to their roots, the Kashmiri’s have long been famous for their production of some of the world’s best and most luxurious fabrics and, exquisite handicrafts. Originating in Persia, these crafts were brought to Kashmir from the ruling Moghul Empire over 400 years ago (they’re the ones who built the Taj Mahal). Now these crafts are solely made in Kashmir who have kept to traditional techniques and designs, but have perfected the art. The craftsmen often work from their home, as has always been the way, which somehow adds to the romance and quality of the work created.

Everyone in the process is as important as each other. Fair trade comes as standard, as each task requires a specific ability & quality from a specific craftsman that has normally passed down from generation to generation, with each craftsmen dependant on each other to produce the highest quality work.

Nothing is made in factories by children!!! There are some items produced on electric looms in a factory, such as the Silk:Wool shawls, but these are still produced by quality craftsmen. The more exclusive items are made in the craft workers homes – though different parts of the productions are done by different people.
