Holiday Gift Guide 2026

Every piece in our collection is handcrafted in India in small numbers — most in editions of four or fewer. When they're gone, they're gone. Here is our guide to giving them well.

By recipient

For your mother (or hers)

A Kani pashmina shawl ($115) is the heirloom answer. Woven in the centuries-old Kani tradition of Kashmir, each shawl carries a garden of color that reads as art whether worn or draped over a chair. This is the gift that gets kept.

For the woman who has everything

She doesn't have a Kalamkari-design pashmina shawl ($125). The pen-drawn motifs of this South Indian textile art tradition — florals, vines, storytelling patterns — make each one feel like a found object, not a purchase. We have exactly five.

For her (the one who dresses well)

A silk pendant stole ($65) is two gifts in one: a hand-finished silk stole and a real pendant — mother of pearl, German silver, or semi-precious stone — that anchors it like jewelry. No one else is giving this.

For the perpetually cold

Pure wool scarves ($69) in checks and solids, warm without bulk. The practical gift, done properly.

For hostesses, teachers, colleagues

Silk scarves ($45) and cotton-linen scarves ($39) are the graceful under-$50 gesture: generous to receive, easy to give.

By budget

The gift sets

Our curated sets pair pieces that belong together — a pendant stole with a silk scarf, a pashmina with a winter companion — at a better price than buying separately. Four sets, $99 to $149.

Good to know

What is a pashmina? Exceptionally fine wool, woven light and soft — warmth without weight. Ours are woven in India in traditional techniques: Kani (bobbin-woven pattern), Kalamkari design (pen-drawn motifs), and Zari (reversible, metallic-thread detail).

Care: Dry clean silk and pashmina. Cotton-linen scarves may be gently hand washed cold and laid flat to dry.

Timing: Small-batch inventory means popular pieces sell out first. For December gifting we suggest ordering by mid-December.
