With these shawls wrapped around your body, you will catch every discriminating eye. In these shawls designs are woven within the fabric and floral motifs are conceived and executed with utmost delicacy. There are bunch of highly stylized floral forms, often presented rising from a vase or a dish. The designs have crystallized into the cone shape (also described as mango, almond, cypress, tear drop and paisley), which in its various forms dominates the shawl designs. The jacquard designs used by the shawl manufacturers in Europe in the 19th century had a profound influence on the shawl designs. These paisley design shawls are also known as Jamawars in India. At-least initially, these shawls were primarily an article of woman rather than man's attire. But it was not till the Napoleonic period that it became a garment of high fashion, the style being set by the Empress Josephine after she had received, it is said, a gift of two pieces from Napoleon to whom they had been presented by the Khediv of Egypt. For the next 60 years, the shawl was an indispensable adjunct to the wardrobe of every fashionable woman in Europe, particularly in France. And, this was the period of the greatest productivity in the industry in Kashmir, as well of the greatest change and development in design.
