Rajasthan Fabrics and Arts

This trio of extraordinary textile stores includes the original shop—run by the patriarch of the family—which specializes in museum-quality antique and vintage fabrics. At the family’s Satayam, closest to the City Palace entrance, are superb handwoven cashmere blankets; natural, undyed pashmina shawls; hand-stitched quilts; and delectable handwoven cotton shawls printed with gold and silver motifs. Pashmina, cotton and cashmere textiles can also be custom-dyed in an assortment of elegant colors. Ask to view vintage textiles in the company’s third store nearby. Open by appointment only, it’s like a museum of rich fabrics, all breathtaking. Museum curators shop here for treasures displaying India’s textile artistry.
