Finding Warmth – At Maiwa on Granville Island
MAIWA ON GRANVILLE ISLAND
IT'S LIKE A TEXTILE GALLERY WITH A NEW SHOW EVERY DAY.
Our Granville Island store carries many things that you won't find online.
It is the nature of much artisan work that each piece is unique. For this reason our physical store carries a wealth of items that you won't find anywhere else.
Wrap yourself in a beautiful feeling — warm winter shawls from Maiwa.
These shawls showcase the immense creativity that artisans have taken in approaching every aspect of the shawl. Right from the moment the spinner grasps multiple fibres between her fingers and begins to work with them there is an excitement and joy in creating. That spark is captured in fibre choices (including wild silks) weaving construction (including supplemental wefts) and finishing (including stitching narrow weaves together).
These shawls are as versatile as they are beautiful — wrapped around you to stay warm, or even spread on a bed or sofa to showcase creativity and skill.

- MEET THE ARTISANS -
These shawls are created by a number of artisan communities in the Kutch Desert of India where generations of skill and mastery are passed down in the spinning of the threads, the warping of the looms and the weaving of the cloth.
