"Zabardast" is more than just a word; it embodies an awe-inspiring attitude, a testament to the remarkable fusion of Hebridean fabric and Chitrali artistry - a synergy that can only be described as 'Magnificent'. Each piece in this collection is a work of art, having been meticulously handwoven by the artisans of Scotland's Western Isles and then intricately embroidered by the talented women of Chitral, Northern Pakistan.
