Phirans hold a special place in the history of Kashmiri craftsmanship and stand as one of the most iconic symbols of Kashmir’s rich textile legacy. Worn originally as a traditional winter garment for warmth, the phiran has now evolved into a contemporary fashion statement that is worn with pride by modern women across India and worldwide. Angad Creations celebrates this centuries-old attire by perfectly blending traditional design and exquisite Kashmiri embroidery to create phirans that are heritage-rich yet beautifully modern.
What Makes the Kashmiri Phiran So Special?
Traditionally worn in cold winters, phiran is not just a garment — it is a symbol of a long cultural journey, pride, heritage and identity. To give comfort with mesmerisation, it uses relaxed long silhouettes and warm fabrics like wool, velvet, and fine blends. Today at Angad Creations, phirans are designed not only for warmth but also as luxury fashion pieces that can be worn for festivals, functions, travel styling, photoshoots, brunch outings, or winter vacation looks.
Kashmiri artisans craft these phirans using their hard-learnt, world-famous embroidery techniques, such as:
Sozni Embroidery
Tilla Work
Aari Embroidery
Zari Metallic Threads
The magical embroidery work makes a simple piece of fabric a wearable artifact where each stitch tells a cultural story.
Why Women Love Kashmiri Phirans Today
Celebrated for their exceptional ability to merge tradition, comfort, and elegance into a gorgeous piece of aesthetic elegance, Phirans hold a special place in every woman's heart. Phirans are a reflection of a rich Indian heritage, enabling modern women to maintain a connection with their cultural origins while embracing modern trends. Crafted from the finest wool or velvet, these garments offer natural warmth and comfort, making them perfect for winter wear. Adorned with exquisite Aari, Tilla, or Sozni embroidery, each piece is a symbol of pure luxury and sophistication. The true allure of phirans lies in their effortless elegance; they radiate a regal charm without appearing ostentatious, embodying grace and understated luxury. Furthermore, their adaptable design allows for easy styling and comfort, suitable for any occasion, from festive celebrations to casual outings.

How to Style Your Kashmiri Phiran (Modern Ways)
Casual Daywear: For a stylish winter streetwear look, wear your phiran with denim or straight-fitting pants and boots.
Choose Tilla-work or Sozni phirans from Angad Creations for festive and wedding events. Accessorise them with soft curls, danglers, and embroidered juttis.
Travel Style: For winter getaways (such as those in Kashmir, Manali, Canada, etc.), wear a lightweight phiran with thermal leggings.
Office Chic (Winter): Slim trousers, a sleek handbag and minimal aari-embroidered phirans.
The phiran is more than simply winter clothing; it's also quite stylish, adaptable, and photogenic.
