Parizaad Jamawar Kashmiri Stole – Midnight Blue Micro Modal

Provenance

The large buta, an oversized sweeping paisley form that dominates an entire field, is among the most commanding formats in the Jamawar design tradition. Where dense all-over patterns speak of abundance and intricacy, the large-buta format speaks of confidence: a single form drawn on a generous scale, intricate within its outline but bold in its overall statement. In Kashmir, these shawls were prized for their ability to combine grandeur with refinement, the large form giving the eye a point of rest while the detailed interior fill rewarded closer attention.

This stole presents the buta in midnight blue and steel grey, a palette that moves between formality and restraint. The interior of each paisley form is worked in a layered botanical fill of fine scrolling vines and floral clusters, darkening toward the outer edge and giving the form a sense of depth. The ground between the forms carries its own finer patterning. A solid navy band anchors each end before the fine fringe.

Midnight blue carries naturally into formal and evening contexts: worn with dark formal wear, or layered over ivory or cream for contrast. The large, clear pattern is legible from a distance, which gives the stole a presence that more densely worked pieces can sometimes lose.
