Yaser Shaw

Yaser Shaw and his family company create some of the finest entirely handmade shawls in production today. Shaw works with a community of artisans, preserving an age-old Kashmiri Himalayan art. A Yaser Shaw shawl feels incredibly soft because it is 100% cashmere, the fibres are from goats that live very high in the Himalayas surrounding Kashmir.

Every element of Yaser's production is done in the traditional method by hand. Once a piece is woven, an all-over embroidery can take up to 9 months for one person to complete. Even the base colour is limited because only six shawls are able to fit on the traditional Kashmiri looms at a time. To own a Yaser Shaw shawl, is to own a truly one-off piece.
