About Khyber Shawls

A legacy studio weaving warmth from the valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Our family-run studio brings together custodians of block-printing, vegetable dyeing, and hand weaving. We strive to keep ancestral skills alive while designing silhouettes that belong in today’s wardrobes—minimalist, elevated, and unapologetically Pakistani.

House philosophy

What defines our studio

Each collection is a collaboration between designers, artisans, historians, and the communities that raise the sheep whose wool we transform into heirlooms.

Loom-to-life craftsmanship

Every shawl is handloomed in small batches in Charsadda, then finished with hand-rolled edges, tassels, and natural block prints.

Ethical fibre partnerships

We source wool directly from shepherd families in Swat and Gilgit, guaranteeing fair pricing and veterinary care for flocks.

Slow fashion by design

We release seasonal edits only when workshops are ready—prioritising artisans’ wellbeing and zero-inventory waste.

Creative Director

“A Khyber shawl is meant to be lived in—draped over denim at sunrise, or paired with velvet at weddings.”

Master Weaver

“I still inspect every warp and weft before it leaves the loom. We owe that devotion to our ancestors.”
