Sustainable and Handcrafted: Why Kashmiri Embroidery Aligns with Modern Fashion
Kashmir is known for its beautiful valley, scenic mountains, and overall mesmerising beauty. But do you know Kashmir was also been the hub for art and handicraft for the entire world back in the 15th century? Kashmir’s pashmina is very famous and sought after.
But we are not here to talk about Pashmina; we are talking about Kashmiri embroidery, Kashidakari! The different styles and types of Kashmiri embroidery work, like Kashida, Aari, Tilla and Sozni, are deeply inspired by the rich culture of Kashmir.
Choosing Kashmiri embroidery is not just about conserving the art of Kashidakari; it is also about reviving the luxurious handicraft that was once worn by kings and rulers across the Indian subcontinent.
The best part is, that Kashmiri hand embroidery work is labour-intensive, and cannot be mass produced. This automatically makes it sustainable and eco-friendly. Kashmiri embroidery requires natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and silk, which makes it environmentally friendly and long-lasting.
Not only this, but it also provides a respectful living for the artisans who have been involved in handicrafts for generations.
