Handloom vs Machine-Made Gents Shawls – Which Should You Choose?

Handloom vs Machine-Made Gents Shawls – Which Should You Choose?

When winter arrives and the air gets crisp, nothing feels quite as comforting—or as stylish—as wrapping yourself in a warm, elegant Gents Shawl. But with so many options out there, one question often pops up:
Should you go for a handloom shawl or a machine-made one?

At Sarwat, we believe that a shawl isn’t just about warmth—it’s about making a statement. Whether it’s a traditional Kulgam Shawl or a contemporary Andaz Shawl, the piece you choose reflects your personal style, values, and appreciation for craftsmanship.

Let’s break down the differences to help you decide what’s right for you.

The Beauty of Handloom Gents Shawls

There’s something special about a shawl that’s been woven by hand. Each thread tells a story—of tradition, heritage, and the skilled hands that crafted it.

Handloom shawls are not mass-produced. They’re made with care, often using techniques passed down through generations. The result? A unique, rich texture and detail that machines simply can’t replicate.

At Sarwat, our Kulgam Shawl and the newly released Kulgam Shawl NEW collection are perfect examples of this artistry. These shawls are soft, luxurious, and designed for those who appreciate elegance.

Why choose handloom?

  • Authenticity – Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
  • Premium fabric – Often made with natural wool, pashmina, or blended silk.
  • Cultural connection – Woven with traditional patterns rooted in South Asian heritage.

Whether it’s the bold grace of the Gulgam Shawl or the delicate detailing in the Kulgam Shawl NEW, handloom shawls bring warmth not just to your body, but to your story.

The Practical Side of Machine-Made Gents Shawls

If convenience, affordability, and everyday use are what you’re after, machine-made Gents Shawls are a great option. These shawls are made with consistency in mind—every piece is neatly woven, durable, and easy to care for.

For men who want to look good without spending too much time or money, machine-made shawls offer style without the extra effort.

Take our Andaz Shawl collection, for example. It’s modern, versatile, and ideal for regular wear—whether you're heading to work, a family gathering, or just out for a stroll on a chilly evening.

Benefits of machine-made shawls:

  • Cost-effective – Get the look without breaking the bank.
  • Low maintenance – Easy to clean and care for.
  • Modern variety – Available in different patterns, colors, and styles.
