What is a Kalamkari Shawl?

A Kalamkari Shawl for Women is a masterpiece of traditional Indian textile art, where the word “Kalamkari” comes from two Persian words: ‘Kalam’ meaning pen, and ‘Kari’ meaning craftsmanship. This ancient art involves hand-drawing intricate motifs on fabric using natural dyes and bamboo pens. Every Kalamkari Shawl for Women tells a story — of flora, fauna, divine figures, and heritage patterns.

These shawls are known for their detailed artistry and vivid storytelling. The process is slow, detailed, and entirely handmade, making each Kalamkari Shawl a unique piece of wearable art that stands apart from printed or machine-made designs.

The Making of Kalamkari Shawls for Women

The creation of Kalamkari Shawls for Women is a deeply traditional and labour-intensive process. At Elabore Luxury, our artisans follow time-honoured methods passed down through generations. The journey begins with pure wool, silk, or pashmina base fabrics that are carefully washed and treated to absorb natural dyes.

The designs are drawn freehand using a kalam (bamboo pen). Natural dyes extracted from plants, flowers, and minerals are then used to bring the artwork to life. Each colour requires multiple steps of washing, boiling, and drying under the sun to achieve the perfect tone.

Unlike mass-produced shawls, every Kalamkari Shawl for Women at Elabore Luxury carries the artist’s personal touch, emotions, and heritage — a true reflection of slow, meaningful fashion.
