Sozani "all-over" work. Sozani, a centuries-old needlepoint embroidery, is a testament to the unparalleled skill of Kashmiri artisans, transforming the soft, luxurious fine wool into a canvas of intricate beauty. The "all-over" work signifies that the delicate, mesmerising motifs—often inspired by the region's abundant natural beauty, such as the Chinar leaf, paisleys, and delicate florals—cover the entire surface of the stole. Each fine stitch is a whisper of tradition, a painstaking process that can take months to complete, resulting in a piece that is not just an accessory, but a wearable masterpiece of timeless elegance and heritage.
