The Pashmina Natural Paldaar Sozni Shawl is a fine example of Kashmiri handloom luxury. Woven from pure, undyed “toosh” (natural beige) pashmina, the shawl is highlighted by intricate sozni embroidery on both pallus (ends): elaborate paisleys, blossoms, and floral patterns worked in vibrant magenta, orange, saffron, and subtle leafy greens. Each motif is painstakingly stitched with fine silk and wool threads, creating a harmonious contrast against the earthy base.
Color & Design Features
Natural Toosh Base & Multicolor Sozni Palla
The base color is a soft, light brownish-beige, also known as “natural toosh,” which is typical of traditional Kashmiri shawls. The broader palla features a field of paisleys and stylized flowers: overlapping patterns in warm pink, orange, and golden yellow, delicately outlined in dark magenta and olive. The floral sozni work is concentrated on the end panel, with the body remaining minimally adorned to emphasize material purity and embroidery finesse[web:113][web:115][web:119][web:120].
