What Are Kani Stoles for Men?
Kani Stoles for Men are traditional Kashmiri handwoven stoles made using wooden bobbins called Kanis. These bobbins replace the modern shuttle, and each coloured thread is carefully passed through the warp to create intricate woven designs.
The term “Kani” originates from the Kashmiri word for these tiny sticks. Each design is guided by a Talim — a coded pattern that the weaver reads like a script, meticulously following every line and colour combination.
Unlike printed or embroidered stoles, the design in a Kani stole is woven directly into the fabric, giving it a luxurious texture and a stunningly detailed look that lasts for generations.
At Elabore Luxury, our Kani Stoles for Men are crafted from the finest materials, including pure Pashmina, fine wool, and silk blends — ensuring that every piece feels soft, warm, and elegantly light on the shoulders.
The Making of Kani Stoles for Men: A Masterpiece of Handcrafting
Creating a Kani stole for men is a long and labour-intensive process that can take several months to complete. The journey begins in the valleys of Kashmir, where art meets devotion.
The Design (Talim) Preparation: A skilled artist creates the design on paper, coding each motif and colour into a Talim.
Setting the Loom: The weaver mounts fine Pashmina or wool yarn onto a wooden loom with precision.
Weaving with Kanis: Tiny wooden sticks (Kanis), each with a different coloured thread, are used to weave the motifs according to the Talim.
Finishing: The stole is softened, washed, and lightly pressed to achieve its natural drape and sheen.
This entire process is completely handmade, with no machines involved — preserving a centuries-old art form.
