Where Winter Warmth Meets Kashmiri Craft

Winter dressing in Kashmir has always been about more than layers—it’s about craft, comfort, and heritage. Oroori’s woollen collection brings together pashmina and semi-pashmina suits, enriched with Sozni and Jamavar embroidery, celebrating centuries of Kashmiri textile mastery in a form suited for today.

These are not just winter suits—they are timeless, handcrafted pieces made to be worn and treasured.

What Makes Kashmiri Woollen Suits Special?

Kashmiri woollen suits stand apart due to:

• Naturally warm Himalayan wool

• Fine hand embroidery techniques

• Lightweight construction despite high insulation

Designed for cold climates, these fabrics retain warmth without feeling heavy or bulky.

Pashmina vs Semi-Pashmina Wool

Pashmina wool is sourced from the fine undercoat of Himalayan goats and is known for being:

• Extremely soft

• Lightweight yet highly insulating

• Rare and labour-intensive

Semi-pashmina blends pashmina with fine wool, offering:

• Better durability

• Easier maintenance

• A more accessible price

Oroori curates both, maintaining quality across the collection.

Sozni Embroidery of Kashmir

Sozni is a delicate hand embroidery technique done with fine needles and silk or cotton threads.

Key Features:

• Intricate floral and paisley motifs

• Subtle, refined colour palettes

• Almost identical embroidery on both sides

Sozni adds elegance without overpowering the fabric, making it ideal for woollen suits.

Jamavar Work: Royal Winter Embroidery

Jamavar embroidery is richer and denser, inspired by Mughal and Persian designs.

• Bold paisleys and vines

• Traditionally associated with royalty

• Adds visual depth to winter wear

At Oroori, Jamavar is used in a balanced, wearable manner, keeping comfort intact.

Why Pashmina Is Expensive—and Worth It

Pashmina’s cost reflects:

• Limited fibre yield

• Hand spinning and weaving

• Weeks (or months) of embroidery

What you receive in return:

• Exceptional warmth
