Some Stories Aren’t Written — They’re Woven
From a small hill-town emporium in the misty valleys of Mahabaleshwar to homes across the world, Stole & Yarrn carries forward a family legacy of craftsmanship, warmth, and timeless Indian textiles.
Our Craft
At Stole & Yarrn, every piece begins with the hands of artisans.
We create 100% fine wool stoles and shawls that combine traditional weaving techniques with modern design sensibilities.
Each piece goes through a meticulous process:
- Handwoven for breathable warmth
- Intricately embroidered for depth and texture
- Hand-stitched for precision
- Finished with delicately hand-placed crystals that catch light beautifully
These are not mass-produced accessories.
They are small-batch creations made by artisans who have mastered their craft over generations.
Our designs are intentionally limited to 30–50 pieces per style, ensuring rarity and preserving the individuality of handmade work. Because each crystal is placed by hand, no two pieces are ever identical.
This is craftsmanship meant to be worn, cherished, and passed on.
Our Heritage
More than 70 years ago, in the quiet hills of Mahabaleshwar, a small shop named Cottage Industries Emporium opened its doors.
It was founded by my grandfather with a simple belief — that the beauty of Indian craftsmanship deserved to be experienced and celebrated. Travelers visiting the hill station would step into the store and discover handwoven textiles, traditional weaves, and artisan creations from across the country.
But what my grandfather truly built was something deeper than a shop.
He built trust, relationships with artisans, and a space where heritage could live on through craft.
For decades, the emporium became a destination for people seeking textiles that felt authentic, soulful, and enduring.
A Third Generation Vision
I’m Priyanka Arora, the third generation in our family’s textile journey.
Growing up around fabrics, I saw how textiles could hold stories — of celebrations, travels, memories, and family traditions. My father continued the legacy of the emporium, and through him I learned the importance of craftsmanship, patience, and respect for artisans.
But I also believed our story could travel further.
Stole & Yarrn was born from that vision — to take our heritage beyond the hills and share it with the modern world.
What started as a legacy in a small mountain town now reaches customers across India and internationally, through thoughtfully designed stoles, shawls, ponchos, and home accents.
Each piece carries forward the values our family has always stood for:
• Craftsmanship
• Authenticity
• Beauty with meaning
Luxury You Can Gift
Gifting should feel special — never generic.
Our stoles and shawls are designed as meaningful gifts, whether for weddings, milestones, celebrations, or simply moments when you want to share warmth with someone you love.
Every order includes:
• Complimentary gift box packaging
• Soft tissue wrapping
• A care instruction card
From the moment it arrives, the experience feels thoughtful and complete.
Responsible Craftsmanship
We believe luxury should also be responsible.
Our approach is intentionally small-batch and low-waste. By producing limited quantities, we avoid excess inventory while ensuring the highest attention to detail.
We work with skilled artisans, use durable materials that last for years, and focus on designs that transcend seasonal trends.
The goal is simple: create pieces you return to again and again.
Wear It Your Way
A stole is one of the most versatile pieces in a wardrobe.
Layer it over denim for effortless airport style.
Drape it lightly for brunch or daytime gatherings.
Wrap it as a shawl for travel and cooler evenings.
Let the crystals shimmer for celebrations and evening events.
Our pieces move easily between everyday moments and special occasions — heritage craftsmanship designed for modern life.
From the Hills to the World
From the misty landscapes of Mahabaleshwar to customers across India and internationally, our journey continues to grow.
Stole & Yarrn is more than an accessory brand.
It is warmth you can feel.
A story you can wear.
A gift that carries meaning.
And we’re only just getting started.
