About the phiran

The phiran is Kashmir’s winter garment – knee-length or longer, loose enough to layer over a sweater, traditionally worn with a kangri (fire-pot) underneath. Aari embroidery is worked with a hooked needle in chain stitch, the same craft as on Kashmiri shawls and the aari woollen long jacket. Wear over a slip or fitted top with straight pants and juttis; add Kashmiri Heritage jewellery.

Care

Dry clean only; store folded with the embroidery inward, away from moisture.
