Gulshan Sozni Kashmiri Stole – Sage Green Botanical Wool Silk

Provenance

Drawing from the botanical embroidery vocabulary of the Kashmiri Sozni tradition, this stole carries multicolour needle-worked vine and floral motifs across a sage green wool-silk ground. Sozni embroidery — named from the Persian suzan, meaning needle — lays thread in flowing, naturalistic patterns with a single needle, building its design through the patient accumulation of botanical forms: leafed sprays, curved vines, blooming flowers, and ornamental detail.

Crafted in a luxurious wool-silk blend, the stole features an all-over field of botanical embroidery in soft gold, dusty rose, teal, and cream — scattered naturalistic motifs spread across the sage green ground, culminating in a structured ornamental border with panelled floral and geometric sections. The palette is deliberately verdant and gentle, the embroidery evoking a Kashmir garden in early bloom against the soft celadon ground.

Lightweight with a graceful drape, the stole complements cream, ivory, and white occasion wear in a traditional Indian context. It sits equally well over contemporary separates — a warm companion to earth tones, camel, or natural linen for an understated festive look that carries genuine craft heritage.
