Why source from Srinagar
Srinagar is the source of the world's finest Pashmina shawls, hand-knotted silk and wool carpets, and intricately painted papier-mâché — a cluster of benchmark luxury crafts. Kashmiri artisans hand-spin, weave and embroider Pashmina over many months and paint papier-mâché in fine, gold-accented detail. This concentration of high-skill, high-value crafts makes Srinagar a premier source for luxury textiles and décor, where verified authenticity is essential.
Sourcing Pashmina & Papier-Mâché from Jammu & Kashmir
Pashmina & Papier-Mâché is Srinagar's designated One District One Product — India's programme to concentrate skill, infrastructure and branding behind a single flagship line per district. For a sourcing buyer that concentration is the advantage: a deep base of specialised makers, mature local supply of raw materials, and competitive pricing all sitting in one cluster.
Pashmina & Papier-Mâché is handmade, so expect characterful variation between pieces rather than machine uniformity — that is part of the appeal. Artisan clusters around Srinagar typically accommodate flexible order sizes but need realistic lead times for hand-finishing, plus careful, protective export packing for detailed or fragile work.
Pashmina & Papier-Mâché comes out of Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir, part of the North region's wider export base. MadeFromIndia maps the verified clusters behind it, benchmarks landed cost against rival origins, and handles introductions, sampling and quality oversight so you can move from shortlist to first order with confidence.
