Shawls
and Scarves
Fun and funky to sophisticated and sexy to wooly and warm, Global Girl Gifts shawls and scarves add a splash to any outfit, be it casual or classy. Upon seeing the exquisite workmanship of the wool shawls from the mountains of Kashmir, people can't believe they are embroidered by hand. Trust me, they are. Just ask one of the artisans, Ghulam Ahmed Mir, who continues this centuries-old art in the city of Srinigar.
My sisters advise me not to refer to the sari shawls as "used," but rather to use the term "authentic." All I know is that friends and even strangers on the street refer to them as cool when I wear mine. Once worn by women in western India, each shawl is one-of-a-kind and has been dry-cleaned.
