About Bounipun

Philosophy

Influenced by the mythical, colorful transformation of nature’s favorite child Chinar leaves, and engineered only after thorough research, Bounipun has its roots deeply entwined in the intricate elements of Kashmiri heritage. Bounipun offers masterpieces that are beyond the conventional Kashmiri craft. It is essentially wearable art, embracing minimalism blended with eccentricity as its principle. The collection speaks its own language originated from the fables hidden in the historically rich avenues of Kashmir. Bounipun is a specialist luxury division bringing you a timeless craft from the Himalayan glacial Kashmir valley to your wardrobes. Created with a blend of traditional and innovative techniques, the wraps by Bounipun showcase the contemporary designs narrating splendid tales that unfold on the fervent paths of Kashmir. With every step you take on this edge of Kashmir, the streets embosom you deep into the golden days of the valley. The paths of downtown Kashmir are where the craft was born and nurtured, and you can sense it in every breath you take standing in the middle of the Valley.

Foundation

The premium Cashmere for Bounipun’s collection is hand-woven on vintage looms that date back 500 years. This delicate fabric is then treated by the purity of the Himalayan glacial water running down the mountains of Kashmir, preserving the softness and longevity that this fabric is known for. The local artisans of the valley carefully hand weave the fabric for Bounipun’s finest collections, shielding the true aura of Cashmere. The premium Cashmere used to engineer the timeless craft of this luxury brand are derived from the Pashmina goats found in the northern region of the country. The Bounipun shawls and scarves, however, take you on a journey that goes beyond the fabric and captures the unvarnished spirit of Kashmir. The detailed prints, emotion-reflective colors, and signature embroideries made of well-dissected thread bring forth the divine fusion of Kashmir’s hues, ethnicity, and folklore. These artistic, unexplored gems created by the young and experienced artisans don’t need an occasion to be worn.
