From the meticulous weave of Kani to the delicate needlework of Sozni, every craft tells a story of Kashmir’s timeless artistry. The expressive strokes of Kalamkari, the shimmering elegance of Zari, and the bold, tactile beauty of Hand Block printing reflect generations of skill passed down through master artisans. Each technique carries the soul of the valley — a rare fusion of heritage, precision, and luxury.
Kani
Kani is a centuries-old weaving technique from Kashmir, where artisans use small wooden bobbins (kanis) instead of a shuttle to meticulously weave intricate patterns. These shawls are renowned for their rich floral and paisley motifs, vibrant color combinations, and fine wool craftsmanship, making them a prized possession.
Sozini
Silk threads are used in the exquisite Kashmiri embroidery known as sozni to create delicate, hand-stitched designs on supple textiles. Known for its delicate delicacy and symmetry, a single piece might take months to complete. At Mirtex, skilled craftspeople maintain this age-old ability to produce timeless masterpieces.
Kalamkari
Kalamkari is a traditional hand-painting technique that employs natural dyes to create elaborate and artistic patterns. Originating from Persian and Indian influences, Kalamkari shawls feature detailed floral, mythological, and geometric designs, making each piece a work of art that seamlessly blends tradition with elegance.
Zari
Known for its exquisite beauty and regal majesty, zari stitching is one of India’s most prized embroidery traditions. It turns cloth into a glittering, elegant canvas when it is woven with tiny metallic threads, frequently in gold or silver hues.
Hand Block
In the traditional art of hand block printing, elaborate designs are imprinted into cloth using carved wooden blocks. Because each press is done by hand, each piece has a unique appeal due to the slight variances.
