Zafran is my brainchild and bears the nostalgic heartbeat of my beloved Kashmir. I founded Zafran with a view to connect with my roots and showcase the vibrant art and cultural heritage of my homeland through my designs. Taking inspiration from Kashmirs rich art and craft, Zafran brings the unusual mix of tradition and modern designs using age old traditional art form of weaving and embroidery. Tastefully done with ethics at the core, every single piece has a story to tell!
