What makes a dorukha kani so expensive?

It compounds two scarce skills: kani bobbin-weaving (months of loom time) executed so the reverse face finishes as cleanly as the front. Weavers capable of both are a handful.

Is this shawl documented for provenance?

Yes — GI certificate, weaver's name and loom record, and the talim reference ship with it; the dossier supports insurance and inheritance.

Is such a piece practical to actually wear?

Entirely — kani cloth drapes robustly and both faces are finished for wear. Its enemies are storage moths and safety pins, not evenings out.

The statement piece of the mens wall: a kani-woven pure pashmina shawl finished do-rukha, so the bobbin-woven pattern reads correctly from both faces. Months of paired skills — kani weaving and two-faced finishing — on GI-certified 100% Changthangi cloth from Srinagar looms. Few shawls made for men anywhere carry this much craft per square centimetre.
