Crafted with care, and made to belong.
Each piece carries the warmth of the hands that made it, and the quiet story of the mountains it comes from.

Rooted in Chitral’s weaving traditions, it brings texture, soul, and a gentle beauty into the home — something to live with, not just look at.

From the highlands of Chitral to your everyday space, it offers depth, softness, and a warmth that lingers.

For homes that want to hold story, softness, and care.
The Sanik wall hanging and Mushel table mats are made in handwoven Chitrali Shu from organic Kari wool, shaped through natural dyes and delicate handwork. Rooted in Chitral, each piece carries a quiet language of heritage, tenderness, and contemporary beauty.

Decorate your home with pieces made slowly, and with intention.

Some creations don’t just sit on the body—they move with it. They catch rhythm, hold breath, and echo the quiet pulse of celebration.

Shanakh and Zevori are shaped in that spirit.
There’s a certain cadence in the way Shanakh falls, like a slow, grounded dance.

The weight of handwoven Shu gives it presence, while its form opens and gathers with movement, almost like following an unseen beat. Trails of appliqué and braided textures drift across its surface, and fine gold threadwork flickers softly, like distant music carried across a valley at dusk. Inside, a lining of hand block print rests close, adding a hidden layer of warmth and intimacy.

Zevori carries a different tempo, closer, more immediate. It sits lightly, yet feels protective, like something worn for both ritual and ease. On its surface, delicate gold embroidery catches the light with every shift, tracing floral forms that feel alive, almost in motion. Tiny star-like stitches shimmer gently, as if marking moments in a quiet celebration.

Together, they hold the feeling of gathering, of music rising somewhere in the background, of feet finding rhythm on uneven ground, of warmth shared in passing glances and laughter. Every thread carries intention, from the wool sourced in the mountains to the hands that spin, weave, dye, and embroider.

These are pieces made in time with people, with place, with memory. Not just worn, but lived in, moved in, and quietly celebrated.

Not everything is designed for the eye. Some pieces are shaped for memory, for presence, for the quiet way something can feel like home.

Shanakh and Zevori emerge from that space.
Rooted in the highlands of Chitral, Shanakh reinterprets the shepherd’s cloak through a contemporary lens, crafted in handwoven Shu, where structure meets softness. Its form holds you, while intricate appliqué, crochet pathways, and fine gold embroidery trace stories across its surface. Beneath it all, a concealed lining of block-printed cotton carries an intimate, almost secret warmth.

Zevori offers a more intimate expression closer, lighter, yet equally grounded. Tailored in the same Shu and softened with hand-printed cotton, it rests gently on the body. Subtle floral motifs and star-like stitches bring a quiet luminosity, as if holding fragments of the mountain sky within reach.

Each piece is the result of time, care, and continuity. From the wool of sheep to the hands of Kho artisans in Garam Chashma, and the women who embroider and finish each detail this is a process deeply rooted in place and people. Natural dyes drawn from the land complete the story.

Shanakh and Zevori are not just garments, they are enduring expressions of craft, shaped by landscape, memory, and the rhythm of slow making.

Some pieces are made to be worn. Others are made to be felt, like stories, like places, like a kind of quiet belonging.

Shanakh and Zevori come from that same feeling.

Shanakh is an ode to the Chitrali shepherd’s cloak, the kind that has stood through shifting weather and long silences. Cut from dense, handwoven Shu in natural black and crème, it wraps around the body like a soft shelter. Its silhouette feels almost architectural, yet deeply gentle. Across its surface, botanical appliqués and crochet braids wander like footpaths on a hillside at night, scattered with tiny hand-embroidered gold stars. And on the inside, a hidden world, a quilted garden of block-printed cotton, rests quietly against the skin.

Zevori, in its own way, feels like a smaller, closer story. A little armour of warmth and light. Also cut from Chitrali Shu and lined with hand block-printed cotton, it sits close to the body, easy, unstructured, but present. On its front, two stylised mountain flowers bloom in fine gold embroidery, surrounded by delicate star stitches, like carrying a night sky against your chest.

Both pieces move slowly through many hands and many homes. Wool from endangered Kari sheep, spun and woven by Kho families in Garam Chashma. Motifs shaped and stitched by women artisans with the Làlgar Foundation. Colours drawn from walnut husk, beetroot, and wild high-altitude plants.

Nothing here is rushed. Every thread knows where it comes from.

Together, Shanakh and Zevori are not just garments. They are small landscapes, of memory, of craft, of the mountains they belong to.

Now on display at the : a shoka made from shu, the handwoven woollen cloth of Chitral.

This cloak holds more than material history. It holds embodied knowledge — the intelligence of hands, memory, movement, labour, landscape, and inherited skill.

What feels important is that this shoka did not only preserve knowledge. It produced new knowledge. Through its making, forgotten techniques were revisited, family histories resurfaced, and the museum became a space where ancestral practice could speak in the present.

Developed in dialogue with , whose heirloom shoka shaped this work, the piece became not just an object, but a method of research, remembering, and return.

A cloak, yes.
But also an archive.
A testimony.
A living thread between body, land, and memory.

Sharing glimpses of the journey.

From raw thread to Shu cloth, and finally to wearable fabric.

Creating Shu (woollen cloth) from scratch is a beautiful process, but it demands patience, skill, and deep dedication.

For generations, the locals of Chitral have preserved this craft using traditional, time and honored techniques.

Their hands don’t just weave fabric, they keep a dying art alivd in the form of their heritage.

Be part of this beautiful journey.

In Minab, Iran, they are digging graves for more than 165 children — tiny bodies buried on the first day of the US-Israeli assault. There is no language left for the barbaric Western imperialist powers, only grief. 💔
