This is a shawl of striking contrasts. The body is pure, unembroidered jet black Pashmina — rich, deep and impeccably woven — while the border tells a very different story. A wide, densely hand-worked band of Sozni embroidery runs the full length of the shawl in an extraordinary palette: amber gold, hot pink, magenta, blush, coral and teal, with fine golden running lines framing the design. Circular floral medallions, delicate paisley butis and intricate floral sprigs sit shoulder to shoulder in a border that rewards close inspection at every inch.
This is the Sozni Border tradition at its most generous and colourful — all the artisan's skill concentrated into a frame that turns a classic black shawl into something genuinely spectacular. The contrast between the silent black body and the vibrant, multi-hued border is what makes this piece so compelling.
Draped over a plain black outfit, it becomes the focal point. Worn over colour, it adds a layer of refined complexity that few accessories can match.
When to Wear Autumn through spring — ideal for UK, European and North American winters. The black body makes it endlessly versatile; the multicolour border works beautifully with black, ivory, jewel tones and festive outfits. Perfect for weddings, Eid celebrations, formal dinners and evening occasions.
Perfect for Gifting A bold and memorable gift — the multicolour border against jet black makes an immediate impression. Ideal for weddings, Eid, milestone birthdays, Mother's Day and corporate gifting. Arrives in a presentation gift box.
Care Instructions Dry clean recommended to preserve the multicolour border threads and deep black ground. If hand-washing, use cold water with a gentle wool detergent — never wring. Lay flat to dry in shade. Store folded in a breathable cotton bag with a cedar block.
