Sozni is among the most refined forms of needle embroidery — a discipline where a single shawl may pass through the hands of spinners, dyers, weavers, and embroiderers before it reaches you. Kashmir Sozni holds Geographical Indication status alongside Kani shawl weaving, Kashmir Pashmina, walnut wood carving, papier-mâché, and hand-knotted carpet.
At Soznique, we work directly with master craft families across Kashmir and Persia. Every piece is made from natural materials, fairly compensated, and chosen to preserve techniques that mass production threatens to erase.
Each piece carries the quiet pride of generations.
Kashmir's craft tradition was shaped by centuries of trade along the Silk Road, Mughal court patronage, and Persian artisan migration. Today, Geographical Indication registration protects seven core crafts.
