Embroidered Floral Shawl
Wrap yourself in artistry with the Embroidered Floral Shawl, a handwoven piece that beautifully blends heritage and elegance. Adorned with intricate motifs in red, black, soft grey, white, and blue, each shawl is a unique testament to the skill and creativity of women artisans, bringing a touch of cultural beauty to your wardrobe.
Each shawl is embroidered entirely by hand by women artisans of Local Women’s Handicrafts (LWH), our Shared Trade partner. Artisans train for four to five years to master this intricate skill, making every shawl a true work of art. From the hand-dyed wool and threads to the meticulous embroidery, each shawl is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the creativity and resilience of the women who craft them. Beyond beauty, these shawls are non-toxic, chemical-free, and fully compostable at the end of their life, making them a sustainable choice for conscious consumers.

Meet the Artisans
Local Women's Handicrafts
Local Women's Handicrafts is on mission to lift up marginalized and exploited women; to give them opportunity, skills, and a sense of dignity; and to spread our model of empowerment across the world.
LWH was started by Nasreen Sheikh as a small shop in Kathmandu, Nepal. At only the age of 16, Nasreen had already survived two years as a child laborer in a sweatshop. She opened LWH to take control of her own destiny and provide herself with hope she had never had.
At the shop, Nasreen began to train local women to make handcrafted textiles they could sell at her shop. As she saw the women gain confidence and light return to their eyes, she realized she had the opportunity to spread this work across the world and empower disadvantaged women everywhere.
