This beautiful cotton shawl from India features a design by Imtiyaz. He draws inspiration from the tradition of Kashmiri textiles, giving the shawl an elegant look by using the shibori tie-dye technique. A body of dark maroon gives way to lighter hues, applied with skill by local artisans. Completed with delicate tassels at each end, this fabulous accessory makes for a lovely, yet casual companion.

"Beautiful"
This is my go-to shawl in the winter. It is very light weight but since it is 100% wool it is very warm. I am grateful for Imtiyazs beautiful, functional work.

"I love it!"
The material feels so soft and it will be warm. I was a little worried about the colors (I as looking for a solid teal) but they are perfect, light on one side and darker on the other, and they shimmer. It will go with everything. Ive had a 50% silk, 50% wool shawl for about 20 years and now wear it every day when its cool. This is a great replacement. Thank you very much.

Imtiyaz is dedicated to preserving the handwoven tradition of Kashmir shawls. Even though economic conditions are tough in Kashmir, Imtiyaz is determined to remain in his hometown and continue his art. He learned to weave from his grandmother and father. His brother works alongside him and he hopes to pass this art to his children as they grow up.
Imtiyaz has a medical condition that leaves him very susceptible to pollution. He is unable to travel to Delhi because of the pollution and this has hampered his ability to grow his workshop. However, he refuses to be stifled by this and remains determined to succeed.
Imtiyaz is entirely dependent on his Novica sales as his health prevents him from traveling to markets outside of his Kashmir home. In addition to himself, his wife and their four children, Imtiyaz's workshop also supports his brother.
Imtiyaz believes strongly in education and is saving to ensure that his three daughters and his son receive the best possible education.
Imtiyaz has received 4 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $1200 and the most recent for $800.
Imtiyaz supports four children.
