Cherry Red Himroo Shawl
This is truly an heirloom shawl. Himroo is a technique of handweaving that was patronised by the royals of India since the 13th century. However, over the past 2 decades it had struggled to survive and was almost extinct. LoomKatha started the Himroo Revival Project in 2019 and has succeeded in training a small group of women to weave as well as re-created some vintage Himroo designs.
This shawl is made using a traditional design called "Batashe Ka Jaal" inspired by the Batasha (dessert) moulds of olden times
At present, all our Himroo shawls are woven on pre-order only. You will receive your shawl within 3 months of placing your order. We will send you regular updates on email.
