Kashmir's charming nature transforms an ivory morning into a graceful fashion statement. Made in India, Shahid's classic shawl composes its beauty from refined modal threads—adorned with a colorful sylvan print and dapper fringes.

Long important to Indian culture and identity, the high mountains of Kashmir and its traditional weaving provide the inspiration for this rectangular kani shawl. Shahid weaves it by hand of cozy wool, creating the weft patterns with bobbins of colorful wool — as many as 75 to 100 at a time — rather than the traditional shuttles.

Originated by the Akan peoples of Ghana, colorful kente cloth is the best-known of all African textiles. Kente is woven by hand in strips, which is how it came by its name (kente means "basket" in the Ashanti dialect). Ghana's Rachel Armah creates this colorful cotton blend scarf in cheerful shades of blue, pink and cream. The scarf's width allows it to double as a shawl.

In kente cloth, each color has a symbolic meaning: black symbolizes maturation and intensified spiritual energy; blue signifies peacefulness, harmony and love; green symbolizes vegetation, planting, harvesting, growth, and spiritual renewal; gold represents royalty, wealth, high status, glory, and spiritual purity; grey is for healing and cleansing rituals; maroon signifies the color of mother earth, associated with healing; pink and purple are associated with the female essence and female aspects of life; red symbolizes political and spiritual moods, bloodshed, sacrificial rites and death; silver is associated with the moon and represents serenity, purity, and joy; white is for purification, sanctification rites and festive occasions; and yellow represents preciousness, royalty, wealth, fertility, and beauty.
