Ever since you were a child, your grandfather has told you colorful tales of his days in Colonial India. Brilliant saris, tigers leaping through verdant jungles and elegant hill stations where his family went to escape the torrid summers of Bombay became vivid in your childhood imagination.
Now, you’ve traveled to India and seen the mellifluous chaos for yourself. When you first spotted The Bombay Shawl, the elegant detail of the amber, purple, vermillion and gold paisley embroidered against the deep, inky background reminded you of bygone colonial tales.
Adding to the history is the craftsmanship of the fine embroidery, traditional patterns that were undertaken for three years by an indigenous Kashmiri artisan. The Bombay Shawl, with its wild melee of kaleidoscopic embroidery, takes you back to the legacy of your family’s heritage and those bedtime stories all those years ago.
