Sozni Hand Embroidered Shawl 'Mother' Zozila
This handwoven Sozni shawl is part of the Classic Revival Mother Series, designed to honour the tradition and sentiment of gifting pashminas to mothers and passing them down between generations. Drawing on themes of nurture and heritage, the design pays tribute to the spirit of Maa — the mother. Shawl Zozila is one of the finest in the series, dedicated to mothers everywhere. It features parallel vines representing mountain ranges, embroidered in warm orange and gold threads that depict sunlight reflecting off the peaks against a backdrop of sublimely soft black cashmere.
The cashmere fibres for this shawl were sourced in June 2021 from goats owned by Mr Tsering Angchuk in Kharnak Village in Leh, Ladakh. Here, winter temperatures can drop to –35°C, and local goats develop an ultra-fine undercoat with extraordinary insulating properties. These ultra-fine fibres, measuring between 9–16 microns, are light, soft and naturally warm.
Dehairing, carding, and spinning were all carried out by hand by skilled craftspeople in Kashmir. Dehairing removes the coarse guard hairs, leaving only the softest pashmina fibres, which are then carefully carded and hand-spun. The resulting yarn ranges from 110–140 English count — a level of fineness that modern machinery cannot replicate without adding a synthetic carrier fibre.
The shawl was embroidered by Mr Hamid Ahmed in the Ganderbal district of Kashmir, using the intricate Sozni technique passed down through generations. In December 2022, it was sent to the finishing plant in Hawal, where Mr Zakir Wani carefully washed, pressed and prepared it for final dispatch.
Each piece, supplied with a copy of The Kashmir Shawl, is a unique link to the landscapes and lives behind its origin and creation.

Origin & Sustainability
This shawl embodies the principles of slow fashion — each stage, from sourcing to spinning, weaving and embroidery, is done by hand and can take months to complete. Each artisan brings years of skill, care, and cultural heritage to the process.
Made from Grade A Ladakhi pashmina, this shawl uses one of the world’s finest natural fibres. Cashmere is not only supremely soft and warm, it is also renewable, biodegradable, and long-lasting — a conscious choice for those who value quality over quantity.
By supporting this craft, you help sustain traditional livelihoods and protect centuries-old skills and traditions. Read more on our Himalaya-based suppliers here.
