We were just two girls, so we were really pampered by our parents. In the late 1980s, our family shifted from Srinagar to Jammu. There, everything was different – climate, lifestyle, language, etc. but it didn't take us time to adjust. My association with designing, I think, dates back to my childhood. Ever since I can remember, I use to paint a lot – from my mom's sari to our curtains and even our bedspreads. Once I painted on one of my cousin's tee shirts and it came out really well. He told me all his friends loved it! I think I saw my calling and, after graduation, I took a five-year degree course in textile designing. After completing my textile degree, I worked as a designer for six years, and it was such a great experience. To execute what I had learned during my course was so amazing! While I was still working, I got married and I left my job when my baby was born. I decided to design a collection of apparel and home furnishings on my own, and the response has been good so far. My designs mainly focus on embroidery work and the coordination of color and fabric. I love playing with fabrics and textures. I also love bright colors.

Great for decoration only but very beautiful.
Beautiful throw blanket. Pictures on Amazon don’t do it justice. BUt beware.... this should be for decoration ONLY. The threads pull far too easily to be used as a regularl blanket.

This throw sheds very easily and gets on my clothes and other blankets or even in my eyes at night. Probably wouldn’t buy again.

This is a huge beautiful throw, I'm not even sure how to convey ...
This is a huge beautiful throw, I'm not even sure how to convey how gorgeous this is via text. The listing pictures certainly don't do it justice. When I first opened the blanket the first thing I was struck by was how incredibly soft it was, its softer than the vast majority of baby blankets I own that's how soft it is. Also there was no "weird" or "chemically" smell with this blanket, the quality is through the roof. The colors are gorgeous opaque jewel tones, but I would argue than the blanket overall is more purple than pink as its labeled in the listing. This blanket is so beautiful and high quality that at first I did not want to use it, it sat folded on my dresser and I just stared at it for about a week. One cold night I gave in and its been a throw on my bed ever since. One of my favorite things about this blanket/company is the fact that they're fair trade and work with local artisans all over the world to share their talent with customers. Its worth the slightly higher price point to get a stunning and ethically made piece.I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. All opinions are my own and I stand by the integrity of my review.

Soft, stunning throw blanket from NOVICA
This blanket is stunning! I love NOVICA as they work with artisans across the globe and they have some gorgeous, handmade items. This blanket comes from India and it is incredibly soft. I kept running my hands across it! It is a lightweight throw, so not heavy, but it is gorgeous. This throw has many colors woven through it and you can tell it's been made by hand. I think the slight imperfections add to it. I'm sure they aren't all identical, so I have included photos of the one I received. This blanket will look lovely in your home, or will make a thoughtful gift. I purchased this blanket at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. All statements are 100% my own and have not been influenced.
