Shaakh
Woven to Hold Yours!
When a willow bends, it does not break. It takes a beautiful shape as our Shaakh.
Shaakh is a tribute to the hands that weave and the homes that hold. It is the soft rustle of twigs being boiled, barked, and bent into form by artisans who learnt from their great ancestors.
The Shaakh Collection goes beyond just woven willow. It is a cultural vessel, shaped by hands that remember, carry, and create. Each piece is handwoven by skilled Kashmiri artisans using old techniques, turning dried twigs into beautiful objects that serve, store, and speak.
Each piece in this collection holds more than craft.
It holds the scent of Kashmiri soil, the rhythm of village life, and the touch of someone who wove it with love for a moment that matters.
“Because what we carry in our hands
often holds what we carry in our hearts.”
This is Shaakh. Woven to hold yours.
