Authentic Kashmiri Kani Pashmina Shawl with GI Certification

This exquisite Pashmina Kani Shawl is handwoven in Kashmir using centuries-old techniques, and proudly bears the GI (Geographical Indication) tag that certifies its authenticity and exclusive origin. Crafted from the world’s finest cashmere—sourced from Changthangi goats of Ladakh—each shawl is handspun and woven on a traditional loom using specially-made wooden ‘kani’ needles instead of a shuttle. The intricate pattern is not embroidered but woven thread by thread directly into the fabric, following an age-old graph code known as ‘Talim’, which guides the weavers in creating breath-taking designs.

Color, Design, and Motifs

Pastel Blue, Mughal Florals, and Statement Borders

The base is a serene pastel blue, highlighted with woven Mughal-inspired floral motifs in warm ochre, pink, white, and soft gold. Statement striped borders and signature red kanis frame the look, while delicate fringes finish the piece—all woven, not embroidered. This rich color palette and tapestry-like surface showcase the famed “kani jamawar” style, celebrated for its tapestry appearance and painterly detailing.

Kani Weaving & GI Tag Significance

Why the GI Tag Matters

The GI tag is your guarantee that this shawl is made by Kashmiri artisans using genuine pashmina wool spun and woven by hand, and not a machine-made imitation. It protects the traditional craft, ensures the use of premium Ladakh pashmina, and delivers unmatched authenticity, warmth, and value. Only a true GI-tagged kani shawl—tested in a government lab and registered with the Indian Geographical Indications registry—can be called an original Kani Pashmina

Our Artisans

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...
