Manipuri Hand-Woven Shawl

The Heritage Collection: Authentic Manipuri Hand-Woven Shawl

Experience the timeless elegance of Northeastern India with our signature Manipuri Handloom Shawl. Deeply rooted in the cultural history of the Meitei community, these pieces are more than just accessories—they are wearable stories. Each shawl is meticulously crafted by master artisans on traditional looms, preserving a legacy of weaving that has been passed down through generations.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Every shawl in this collection is a product of patience and precision. Unlike mass-produced textiles, our Manipuri stoles feature a distinctive ribbed texture and a complex interplay of warp and weft threads. The vertical “Moirang” inspired stripes and the bold, contrasting horizontal borders create a geometric harmony that is characteristic of authentic Manipuri design.

Key Features

• Handloom Integrity: Woven using traditional throw-shuttle techniques, resulting in a rich, tactile fabric that feels substantial yet remains breathable.

• Universal Design: Featuring a sophisticated striped motif that transcends seasonal trends. The intricate border and hand-twisted fringe tassels provide a high-end, artisanal finish.

• Superior Comfort: Made from a premium blend of natural fibers, these shawls offer gentle warmth for cooler climates while remaining light enough for year-round layering.

• Durable & Sustainable: By choosing handloom, you are supporting a slow-fashion movement that prioritizes quality over quantity and provides a sustainable livelihood for rural weaving clusters.

Care Instructions

To ensure your hand-woven piece lasts a lifetime, we recommend:

1. Dry Clean Only or a very gentle hand wash in cold water with a silk/wool-safe detergent.

2. Do not wring or twist the fabric.

3. Dry flat in the shade to prevent color fading.

4. Iron on a low “silk” setting if necessary.

Note to Customers: Each piece is unique. Slight variations in the weave and color distribution are hallmarks of the hand-weaving process, ensuring that your shawl is truly one-of-a-kind.
