Handwoven silk and silk-cotton stoles
A stole is the smallest commitment in handloom and often the most useful. Narrower and lighter than a dupatta, it works over a kurta, a dress or a plain shirt, and it travels well.
Most of this edit is woven in silk-cotton, with silk pieces alongside. They are the easiest gift we sell — no sizing to get right, and the handwork is visible immediately.
In the cooler months a stole is the easiest layer to add. Wrap it over a kurta, loop it over a coat, or wear it under a jacket collar. Silk and eri silk hold a little more warmth than cotton.
Because these are woven by hand, slight irregularities in the weave and small colour shifts between pieces are normal. They are the signature of a handloom, not a flaw.
Stoles — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a stole and a dupatta?
A stole is narrower and lighter, and is worn as a layer over Western or Indian clothing. A dupatta is wider and is usually part of a matched suit set.
What fabrics are the stoles woven in?
Mostly silk-cotton, with some pure silk. The fabric is named on each product page.
Do stoles make good gifts?
They are the easiest handloom gift — there is no sizing to get right, and the quality of the weave is obvious straight away.
Can I wear a stole in winter?
Yes, as a light layer over a kurta, a sweater or under a coat. Our stoles are silk and silk-cotton, not wool, so they add warmth and colour but do not replace a woollen shawl.
