What is a Zari Shawl?
A Zari Shawl for Women is a handwoven masterpiece featuring delicate threads of gold, silver, or copper blended with fine fabrics like silk, wool, or pashmina. The word Zari originates from the Persian word Zar, meaning “gold”. This centuries-old art form flourished under the Mughal Empire and continues to be a symbol of luxury, tradition, and divine beauty.
Each Zari Shawl for Women represents hours of meticulous craftsmanship. The glimmering zari threads form elegant patterns — floral vines, paisleys, and geometric motifs — creating a visual harmony that radiates warmth and royalty. These shawls are not merely accessories; they are heirlooms, gracefully connecting India’s royal past to the modern world.
How Zari Shawls for Women Are Made
At Elabore Luxury, the creation of Zari Shawls for Women is a labour of love and patience. Skilled artisans weave these shawls using traditional handlooms — a process that can take several weeks or even months, depending on the intricacy of the design.
Material Selection
The process begins with choosing luxurious base fabrics like silk, wool, or pashmina. Each fibre is carefully inspected for quality and texture.
Thread Preparation
Real zari threads were once made from pure gold and silver. Today, fine metallic threads are used, often coated with gold or silver polish to maintain their sheen.
Weaving Process
The artisan skillfully interlaces zari threads into the fabric, often combining them with colourful silk threads to create vibrant designs.
Finishing Touches
Once woven, the shawl undergoes washing, stretching, and polishing to achieve its soft drape and flawless lustre.
The result? A Zari Shawl for Women that reflects centuries of artistic evolution — shimmering, elegant, and deeply rooted in tradition.
