Shawl
The warm and colourful shawls that the British East India Company brought back from Kashmir were in high demand in Great Britain. Not everyone, however, could afford such luxurious imported items. This soon led weavers in England and Scotland to imitate them successfully. The method used in Europe differed from that in Kashmir; the reverse side of a shawl often gives away whether it is an original or an imitation.
