Craftsmanship

Our Artisans. Our Heritage. Our Purpose.

At Araha London, we believe true luxury begins with human hands.
We create our scarves and shawls in partnership with artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations. Their stories, their precision, and their dedication form the soul of every piece we design. We don’t just make accessories.

We preserve tradition, celebrate artistry, and bring timeless craft into the modern world.

Our Silk: Hand Block Printed, One Block at a Time

We begin with wooden blocks that are carved by hand, sometimes over several days. Each block is a signature: a blend of heritage motifs and our modern design sensibility.

We work with natural vegetable dyes — colours drawn from roots, flowers, and minerals — and print each motif by hand, step by step:

  • We dip the block
  • Align it with precision
  • Press it firmly
  • And repeat the pattern with rhythm and care

Every scarf carries subtle variations that make it truly one-of-a-kind.

Once printed, we allow the colours to set naturally under the open sky. We wash, finish, and hand-roll every hem to complete the piece.

Our Wool & Pashmina: Woven With Intention

Our wool and pashmina shawls begin with exceptional fibres — pure pashmina, cashmere, and fine wools selected for their softness and integrity.

We work with artisans who:

  • Hand-spin the fibres
  • Weave on traditional wooden looms
  • Shape each shawl through slow, meticulous craftsmanship

Some of our wool pieces are also hand block printed using the same natural dyes as our silks, merging weaving and printing traditions into a single art form.

These details give our shawls their timeless drape, warmth, and elegance.

Thoughtful Materials, Naturally Dyed

We choose materials consciously: silks that are full of character, wools that bring purity and warmth, pashmina that embodies effortless luxury.
Whenever possible, we use natural and vegetable dyes — colours created by nature, not chemicals.

This approach respects both the craft and the planet.

The Final Touch: Finished by Hand

We finish every piece by hand because we believe it makes all the difference.
From hand-rolled hems to hand-twisted fringes, from steaming to final inspections — each step adds intention, authenticity, and lasting beauty.

We Create Pieces to Be Kept, Loved & Passed On

We design for real life and for legacy.
For wardrobes that evolve and moments that matter.
When you choose Araha London, you choose craftsmanship you can feel — and a story you become part of.

Our Heritage of Craftsmanship

We work closely with artisan families who have spent lifetimes mastering their techniques. Many have inherited their craft from their parents and grandparents, continuing traditions that are hundreds of years old.

When you hold an Araha London piece, you hold the legacy of these communities — their knowledge, patience, and passion.
