Gulbahar Jamawar Kashmiri Stole – Burgundy Micro Modal

Provenance

In the classical Jamawar tradition, the richest pieces were those in which pattern left no ground unclaimed, every surface worked in botanical forms that interlocked and overlapped in a continuous visual rhythm. The deep, jewel-toned ground was a deliberate choice: burgundy and dark brown allowed the multi-color thread work to read with the clarity of illumination against a dark foil, giving each paisley and vine its full luminous intensity. These were shawls made for the weight of occasion, for weddings, ceremonies, and moments that called for a textile of visible cultural seriousness.

This stole presents a dense all-over Jamawar composition on a deep burgundy ground, the pattern worked in terracotta, teal, sage green, and warm gold. Paisleys of varying scale interlock with scrolling floral vines and ornamental detail, creating a surface that shifts in colour and depth as the light changes. An outer ornamental border frames the full composition.

In Micro Modal, the weight of this traditional palette sits lightly, the stole draping with a suppleness that heavy woven originals rarely achieve, making the traditional Jamawar design language accessible for both festive dressing and contemporary layering.
