About Us
About Us
Welkin was born with the simple goal of creating unique Silk shawls unlike any the world had seen before.
A passion for natural fabrics, beautiful silhouettes and intricate hand embroideries is what brought me to create Welkin in 2008. Each design is hand-made with exceptional detailing by highly skilled artisans that highlight our focus on luxury, quality and craftsmanship.
We are known for our unique use of embroidery and embellishments on Silk and Silk Blends. Our signature creations include Silk Wool, Silk Cotton, Silk Linen shawls, stoles, and wraps. We take great pride in our designs and the people behind this who love to do it all the best way we know how - by hand.
Our Story
Welkin has been designing scarves and shawls with a focus on natural fabrics and embroideries for over 10 years.

Our Philosophy
To create is natural. It’s who we are.
Welkin’s believes in mindful production and the respect for the artisans we work with. We care deeply about using natural fabrics and using age-old techniques of hand-embroidery to create scarves, stoles and shawls that are sustainable and long-lasting.
Basic principle for all of our collections is an element of finessed artistry – from elaborate hand painting, to intricate bead and needle point techniques, onto a myriad of embellishments.
Our community of over 75 artisans believe that life is about creating a series of cherished memories and movements. Through our designs we hope to spark such memories for you, and aspire to be a small part of your grand journey.
Our Craftsmanship
We weave, cut, and embroider all of our designs in Varanasi. Each and every design is hand-crafted by a team of expert artisans to adhere to our expecting quality standards. Each collection concept begins with discussions over the natural fabrics to use, the type of embroideries to utilise, so that the collection is thoughtful and essential. Months are spent finalising classic scarves that are still modern and embroidery techniques that push our design boundaries, while ensuring that the collection stays true to our design ethos. Once the collection concepts are finalised, our expert "khakha masters" sketch each artwork by hand and our expert "adda karigaars" bring the sketches to life by embroidering them on fabric.
Our hope, with every collection, is to create beautiful wearable designs for our customers, while strengthening our focus on sustainability and celebrating our team of our expert artisans.
Manufacturing:Our design ethos and ambitions are supported by strong manufacturing capabilities. Our team consists of over 75 experienced artisans, multiple fashion designers and sketching artists. Our strong design team is further supported by experienced quality control department that ensure consistent quality and timely delivery.
