Jamawar Shawls are the crown jewel of Kashmiri craftsmanship — a 700-year-old legacy of intricate weaving that originated in Iran and flourished under Mughal patronage. At BK Handicrafts, under the guidance of Padma Shri Haji Ghulam Rasool Khan, we revive this royal art using pure Pashmina and traditional Kani/Sozni techniques.

Why Our Jamawar Shawls Stand Out

Authentic Kani & Sozni Technique
Traditional wooden bobbins or millions of needle stitches — both sides identical.

Passed down through 4 generations under Padma Shri Haji Ghulam Rasool Khan.
Ethical & Sustainable

Everything You Need to Know
Jamawar shawls are reversible — patterns are identical on both sides — and handwoven using centuries-old Kani or Sozni techniques. They are made from pure Pashmina and considered wearable art pieces.
Depending on complexity, a single Jamawar shawl can take 6 months to 5–7 years. Patchwork masterpieces with hundreds of pieces often take the longest.
