kalamkari 2025
The Pashmina Kalamkari Malaika Hoor Shawl is a celebration of color and Kashmir’s renowned artisan tradition. Its base features a soft, powder blue that provides a tranquil canvas for lavish, hand-painted and hand-embroidered kalamkari motifs. The intricate floral and bird patterns weave through hues of bright orange, gold, soft pink, gentle lavender, wine red, and olive green. These motifs are bordered and accented by deep red and gold ornamental bands, while the lower border showcases a patchwork of colors—black, yellow, turquoise, peach, and more—adding to the visual drama.
The shawl’s artistic surface features a lively interaction between soft pastels and deeper jewel tones. Its pale blue field is enlivened by embroidered floral vines and birds, rendered in a painterly style across the body, punctuated by bold red kanis and rich metallic highlights. The lower edge’s multicolor striping gives a dramatic finish suitable for both traditional and modern styling.
True kalamkari pashmina shawls are both hand-painted and hand-embroidered by skilled Kashmiri artisans. Each piece is unique, using natural dyes and organic fabrics. This ensures that every shawl—especially the Malaika Hoor edition—offers unparalleled softness, warmth, and artistry.
You can find these luxurious, hand-crafted shawls online at specialty stores and luxury websites. Kalamkari shawls come in various colors, motifs, and finishes, many featuring similar multicolor palettes and fine detailing as the Malaika Hoor

Being born and brought up in Kashmir, I grew up surrounded by the rhythm of weaving and the soft murmur of artisans discussing colours, patterns, and textures. Every day, I would see them visiting our karkhana — some carrying freshly finished shawls, their threads shimmering in the light, and others bringing small samples of colour combinations, waiting for my father’s approval with quiet pride. These artisans are not just craftsmen; they are storytellers of Kashmir’s soul. Through their skilled hands, generations of artistry come alive — each weaves a reflection of patience, devotion, and beauty. At Kepra, we honour their spirit by creating a bridge between tradition and the modern world, where every Pashmina remains a symbol of love, heritage, and timeless human connection. Read more...
