Poncho Shawls in Jacquard Designs Wool Fabric Handcrafted

Women’s Clothing from India

A jamawar poncho is a simple garment designed to keep the body warm, or if made from an impermeable material. It is essentially a single large sheet of fabric with an opening for the head and sometimes for the arms. Some ponchos, especially those made to ward off rain, also have hoods attached. Attractive ponchos are now designed as fashion accessories; they are the same shape but of different material. The emphasis is more on fashion rather than utility value. These are often made out of wool or yarn, knitted or crocheted. While a traditional clothing in the whole world it is now a days a standard in military field uniforms, and as a raincoat for wandering and biking. The poncho is called by many names in many geographies where it is used by both men and women. We carry two different varieties. One are the jamawar and the other are georgette. However, one georgette variety has some extra embroidery and sequin work on the body.
