Enter the World of Chinar
We are Chinar Shawls – a modern interpretation of the classic Kashmiri Pashmina shawl. Our bold and versatile pieces embody the best of traditional design and contemporary style, with a focus on handcrafted artisanship and a fashion-forward aesthetic.
OUR CRAFT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
We’ve been in the business for over 30 years. Chinar was originally founded in the Jammu region, famous for its local artisans and craftsmen that are involved in the process of producing Kashmiri shawls. We have maintained close ties to the community, allowing for us to source the finest materials and produce the most stunning handmade pieces.
ETHICALLY SOURCED & CRUELTY FREE.
Each of our pieces are carefully crafted using soft Pashmina wool, a premium variety of the beloved cashmere wool. We source our wool ethically from the Changthangi goat, which develop a thick and luxuriously soft coat during the winter. We use the wool that they shed during the warmer summer months in the production of our products in line with our cruelty-free philosophy.
TRADITIONAL PRACTICES, CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS
All our our scarves and shawls are handmade in line with traditional artisanal practices of Kashmiri production, but with a modern twist. Each craftsman puts many hours of work and care into the production of each and every piece, focusing on carefully creating a one-of-a-kind treasure with beautiful embroidered accents and a truly contemporary design.
