Inspired by the use of white marble, jali-latticed screens & onion domes in the Taj Mahal, this shawl is a perfect mix of simplicity and a bit of lace heaven. The top & sides of the shawl depict an onion shaped dome & the centre is a hexagonal jali design which makes the shawl light and drapey. The jali hexagon is made in white with a gold background which enhances the jali and gives it a lovely texture - imagine the sun filtering through the jali work.

This shawl is launched in collaboration with 7 other talented Indian designers as part of the Indian Designers’ Collaboration (InDesCo) Edition 3 whose theme was the Taj Mahal - its art, architecture, and symbolism.
