The Indian Saree!

The history of sari-like drapery is traced back to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which flourished during 2800-1800 BC around the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. The word 'sari' evolved from 'sattika' mentioned in earliest Jain and Buddhist literature as women's attire.

The Untold Story Of Kashmiri
Pheran And Its Place In
Kashmir's History!
There are many myths around the Kashmiri pheran. While some believe it was Mughal emperor Akbar who introduced the long garment in the Kashmir Vallery, others believe pheran came from the Persian travelers who invented the garment to protect themselves from the freezing cold during winters.

But the popular belief is that Akbar introduced the garment to tame the brave Kashmiris and make them addicted to a lazy lifestyle after he conquered Kashmir on October 6, 1586.

Kashmiris didn't allow the mighty Mughal army to enter the Valley and fought them gallantly, Akbar offered friendship to the then Kashmiri king Yusuf Shah Chak and invited him to Delhi. When the king went to Delhi, he was arrested and sent to prison in Bihar, where he died and was buried With the king out of the Valley, it was easy for tie Mughal Army to capture the land and ensure that Kashmiris remain tied to the pheran. Whatever the theory, the pheran really gives a feeling of slowness and one wants to prolong such feelings in these times. Someone, who might have been fond of inertia, invented this garment in praise of the laziness and handed it over to Kashmiris who are loving it. In his book The Valley of Kashmir, Sir Walter Lawrence blames Akbar for inventing this garment. Lawrence was the Settlement Commissioner for Jammu and Kashmir during 1889.94.

British missionary and educationalist Tyndale Biscoe in his 'Kashmir in Sunlight and Shade' has this to say about pheran: "When the Afghans conquered Kashmir they forced the men to wear the same dress as the women, to be in keeping with their character." Kashmiris are not fond of Mughals or Afghans or those who came after them. But their love for the pheran has grown manifold.

Pashmina - The History!
The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir, pashm refers to the raw unspun wool of domesticated Changthangi goats.
Typical cashmere ranges from 12 to 21 microns in diameter.

The material gained prominence through its use in the Kashmir shawl. In Mughal times, this was used as an indicator of rank and nobility. In 1526, Babur established the practice of giving khilat (or "robes of honor", typically made of expensive fabric) to members of their durbar to indicate high service, great achievement, or royal favor.

Pashmina blankets were also vital additions to a wealthy woman's dowry in India, Pakistan and Nepal.

In nineteenth-century, despite the fact that shawls were worn by men, Kashmiri shawls became coded as women's luxuries. They acquired the status of heirlooms, worn by a girl on her marriage and coming-of-age and as heirlooms that women would inherit rather than purchase. Since English law restricted women's abilities to inherit land, the Kashmir shawl served as an item of high exchange value that a woman could carry.
In France, the Pashmina shawl gained status as a fashion icon through Empress Joséphine's enthusiastic use. These shawls suited the French well, providing the needed warmth, while adding visual interest to white French gowns through the traditional teardrop buta pattern and discreet floral motifs. The shawl became a symbol of French bourgeois status from the Bourbon Restoration (1815–48) through the Second French Empire (1852–70).

The rich history of Pashmina makes it not only one of the 100 evergreen fabrics as showcased in London Museum, but also becomes a key role for its production and major exports even today!

Pashmina Care!
How to clean your shawl without damaging it. Pashmina Care! It is said Pashmina is wool from heaven! Its softness, warmth and delicacy makes it With adequate care, a Pashmina shawl will retain its natural beauty over decades. However, washing it wrongly can deteriorate your shawl and even ruin it. Remember that they are delicate products and should be treated with care! We would recommend you take it to the dry cleaner at least once a year. Take extra care when the shawl has been dyed in different colours or if it has been embroidered. But letting you know, how to wash it so your shawl doesn't get damaged and looks perfect forever.

Please Note: You will have to do it by hand! You need to carefully follow these simple Steps:
1) Take a bucket fill it with cold water and add detergent or a baby shampoo, since Pashmina is a delicate fabric;

2) Make sure the detergent has completely dissolved before dipping the shawl! An accumulation of detergent could stain the colours of your shawl;

3) Dip the shawl in water until completely soaked. Move it around gently with your hand until lather forms;

4) Never rub the shawl to remove a stain! If your shawl has a bad stain it is best to take it to professional cleaners;

5) Empty the bucket and hold the shawl carefully, rinse gently until all soap is removed and water comes out clear. Take almost care of water pressure, since it may deform the shawl;

6) Hang the shawl, making sure it is kept straight to avoid deformations. A hanger that allows you to dry the shawl horizontally, would be ideal. Avoid pulling any threads;

7) Do not twist or squeeze the shawl to remove excess water as you could damage it;

8) When the shawl is still a bit wet, iron it using a white cotton cloth by placing the shawl between the iron and the cloth. Continue to Iron it until the shawl becomes completely dry; and,

9) Fold the shawl and keep it horizontally in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. ideally store it in a plastic bag to prevent your shawl brushing against other fabrics. If you give it the love and care it deserves, your shawl will live for several lifetimes!

This has to be one of the most amazing piece of Art on Fabric ever created. The masterpiece or Kashmiri kani work on a Pashmina Shawl.

The amazing and exquisite Map Shawl of Srinagar. This Shawl took 30 years in the making. There are 3 or 4 such specimens in the world. And these were made in the late 1800's.

One was reportedly presented to Queen Victoria by Maharaja Ranbir Singh and is presently at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. One more is with a Museum in Australia. One is with a private collector and this piece is at the Shri Pratap Singh Museum in Srinagar though it's not on display as it needs some refurbishing after the Floods.
