{"product_id":"gulabi-wool-kashmiri-crewel-duster","title":"Gulabi Wool Kashmiri Crewel Duster","description":"\u003cp\u003eExotic Wool Kashmiri Crewel Duster Gulabi for women, rooted in a long history of crewel stitch in a striking color palette of magenta, navy, taupe, and burgundy with metallic gold accents. Angular geometric panels flow across the wide-cut body, opening at the front with brass buttons and finishing with patch pockets. Heavy-weight and fully lined in a silk-cotton blend, it falls to just below the knee, all-over hand embroidered in wool crewel stitch — substantial enough for a striking layer over festive kurtas or evening separates alike. A collectible pick within organic women's clothing, this coat holds real value among vintage jackets for women who appreciate genuine handcrafted clothing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory Behind the Textile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster craftsmen in Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir, take 150 hours to embroider by hand the roughly 250,000 stitches on each of these coats. Known as crewel work, this technique is a type of free-running embroidery crafted from tight, continuous lines of chain stitch made with a crewel needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough crewel work has been historically crafted around the world - from Mongolia to Britain - it is now most commonly associated with Kashmir. Known locally as jalak dozi, Kashmir has been famous for its exquisite crewel work since the 17th century, when it was a major cottage industry creating cloth for interiors for the European market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, Kashmiri crewel work comprises floral motifs and patterns and is used for furnishings and interiors. We've reimagined the traditional motifs and patterns in a contemporary design, which has been exquisitely executed by our Kashmiri artisans. Any variations or irregularities are part of the design and inherent to the production process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jumeirah Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58265489145937,"sku":"HOWSCJFEG","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/4845\/3969\/files\/Dust-crewel-07.jpg?v=1759857889","url":"https:\/\/jumeirahroad.com\/products\/gulabi-wool-kashmiri-crewel-duster","provider":"J R Ethical Fashion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
