We spent a good amount of time raiding our mothers’ closets, scouting places in Delhi, and browsing online stores to curate this list of boutiques and stores that retail a stunning array of shawls and stoles, in styles that are both traditional and contemporary. So, this winter season don't let the cool breeze overwhelm you.
Go, shop right away!
Tatsat is a socially conscious store that stocks everything from incense sticks, to jewellery, and of course, beautiful shawls and stoles. The first floor houses the apparel and the good part is that their pieces are available at affordable prices so, we recommend that you go find your favourite new stole here.
With shawls straight from Kashmir, available on request only, we’d invest in a Splendor of Kashmir kani jamavar. They do pop-up stalls across Delhi and have free shipping within India. You can always visit their Facebook page to check as and when they are exhibiting in Delhi.
A customised, ombre cashmere stole from Ezma, in a bright colour, is something we’ve picked up in the past. It’s the softest stole we own! Their Souffle Collection has a range of scarves that caught our eye too. They are currently selling through Tata Cliq and Carma so, make sure to check their collection out.
Jaypore’s stoles and shawl collections have great diversity in terms of fabric, textures, and weaves. If you ask, what we love then, let us tell you that their silk stoles in shades of maroon and auburn are perfect to go with each of the outfits plus, we are in love with their quality. The block prints and ajrakh have a certain charm, and you can even try the Tussar stoles to shield yourself from the cold.
Embroidered Pashmina shawls, antique Jamavar shawls, printed and plain coloured stoles—one should pick up all the colours available. We hear that their shawls are comfy and also super-pretty so, we are sure investing here would be worth it.
Another great place to shop for stoles and shawls sourced straight from Kashmir, Atsar is a hidden gem for those on a budget. We shop for hand-embroidered pashminas from here but, for what it’s worth, they also export carpets. We also love their Kalamkari embroidered shawls but you can also check out their range of Gulabdars, Soznis, and Jamawars.
Neon and rainbow-esque colours on cashmere make Janavi stoles contemporary, cool, and chic. They have varieties in lace, cashmere, and tribal embroideries. And men, don’t worry, there are some for you too! Note: They sell out fast, so swipe that card quick.
Founded in the year 1950, KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium is located in Janpath and is undoubtedly one of the best places to shop for cashmere shawls. Apart from shawls, you can also shop for Kashmiri jackets, ponchos, stoles, and capes. Also, just in case you do not wish to head out, they also have an online store (yayy!).
With a number of outlets spread across Delhi NCR, Ahujasons can be your go-to place if you are not in a mood to experiment by visiting a new place. They have a huge variety of Pashmina and non-Pashmina shawls and also stoles in designs that you will definitely love.
If you haven't checked out this place yet, you should definitely head here. Kashmir Loom is located in Nizamuddin and they also have another store in Srinagar. They do stoles and shawls for both men and women. So, whenever you are heading to Nizamuddin, we suggest that you check this store out.
