Visits Akib on every trip to Jaipur — his store has the best pashminas in town along with an excellent range of high-quality block-printed and embroidered pieces. Akib is deeply knowledgeable across the textile business and always generous with sharing information, with a real understanding of both Western and Indian taste. The pashmina sourced directly from Kashmir is top quality yet priced to suit every visitor. A must-see for any textile enthusiast.
Visited on a friend's recommendation as the place to go in Jaipur for good-quality pashmina without getting overcharged, and it proved true on both counts. Akib was incredibly helpful, took time to show the finest pieces in the shop, and there was no pushy selling at all. Came away with some of the nicest pashminas bought in India after six trips there — recommended for quality, integrity, and a genuinely pleasant experience.
Compared pashmina shops ranging from average to top-tier in Jaipur, and this one came out as the clear favourite. There is a genuine option to suit every budget, and the seller is honest from the very start about the different quality levels available. A lovely, warm host — visiting the shop is highly recommended.
After nearly fifteen trips to India, this was the first visit to Akee International — and it was hard to say what was better, the relaxed conversation with owner Akib or browsing his elegant Kashmiri textile collection. Akib is honest and never applies any pressure to buy. A delightful discovery.
Walked into Mr. Akee's shop in Jaipur and was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the staff were — they listened to exactly what was wanted without any pushy selling. Has since ordered more pieces online and received them safely all the way to Perth, Western Australia, delighted each time with the designs and colours. Recommended to family, friends and colleagues, with plans to keep ordering.
Visited Akee International for pashmina and ended up buying beautiful bed covers as well. Owner Akib is highly professional, deeply knowledgeable about pashmina quality, and took the time to explain everything in detail. All items were delivered promptly to the UK, with quick and reliable email correspondence throughout. Highly recommended, and plans to visit again on a future Jaipur trip.
Went in while in Jaipur for a wedding, planning to buy just one pashmina shawl as a gift for mom. Ended up leaving with ten pieces between two shoppers. Akib is an honest, wonderful salesman with a wide range of products, and took time to explain how each piece is made. Plans to order online or revisit the store on a future Jaipur trip.
An amazing, classy collection with genuine hospitality and honesty — the best shop visited so far. Authentic shawls and pashmina at a very fair price, highly recommended for anyone shopping for shawls in Jaipur.
Visited based on strong reviews and came away thoroughly pleased with the whole experience. Mr. Akee was highly informative, sharing detailed knowledge about pashmina quality and craftsmanship, and was honest about the origin, quality, and value of each shawl — some pieces representing three to four months of embroidery work. Guidance through the selection process was genuinely appreciated.
An incredible depth of knowledge and genuine passion for pashmina is on display here. Every price range and decades of collected pieces are available — a great stop for collectors, buyers, designers, or anyone simply looking for one beautiful piece.
Working with owner Akib is not just a pleasure but a real education in pashmina from Kashmir. The quality is exceptional at a fair price, and the goats are raised cruelty-free with genuine care. Every piece of cashmere purchased here has been loved.
Owner Akib is professional and clearly loves his work, doing it with real passion. Several hours were spent looking through a wide variety of pashminas, and he could tell at a glance which pieces would suit best — and he was right both times. The two cashmere scarves purchased are now worn daily back home. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful souvenir from India.
A wonderful discovery with a great selection and fair prices — the 4-ply cashmere scarves purchased will be treasured for years. Service is honest and heartwarming with no pressure to buy, though it is genuinely hard to resist. Plans to order online again soon.
Authentic pashmina cashmere scarves of a standard rarely found even after extensive world travel — beautiful designs and high-end hand embroidery. Delighted with every purchase made here and looking forward to returning often, with a great collection to suit any budget.
On a third visit, it remains a wonderful and pleasant experience sharing in Akib's knowledge and passion for pashmina and shawls. Amazing pieces sit alongside simple, well-designed wool scarves at reasonable prices — the place for anyone who loves shawls and wants to learn how to tell poor quality from the best.
The pashminas here are incredible, and Akib has a wonderful way of matching each piece of art to the right client. Both the shop and the company were thoroughly enjoyed.
Found this store online and placed an order for pashmina shawls, receiving them within a week over WhatsApp. The shawls were entirely handmade pashmina of great quality, with hand embroidery not easy to find back home in Malaysia. A great overall experience, with plans to visit the store in India soon.
Ordered pashmina stoles online and, surprisingly, received them in under four days. The quality and feel of the pashmina is remarkably high-end. Delighted with the service and planning to order again.
Strongly recommends this store for a great shopping experience covering pashmina and other handicraft items, big and small. Akee is kind, patient, speaks good English, and never applies pressure — genuinely knowledgeable about real pashmina. Centrally located and easy to find on Google Maps.
Has repeatedly purchased beautiful, authentic, handmade pashmina shawls here that cannot be found in regular Indian markets. Akee's designs are genuinely great, with prices clearly marked on every piece, making purchases easy and hassle-free. A great shop for pashmina shawls and bedcovers alike.
After visiting several pashmina shops across India, this store offered the most confidence in authenticity. Akib was patient and friendly, never pushy, and his quiet confidence in the product reflected the real thing — a noticeable step above the evidently fake pieces seen elsewhere. Real pashmina comes at a price, but the quality made it well worth it.
Akee is the real deal for genuine cashmere and pashmina, with immense knowledge of the fibre and endless patience in showing every colour and design. Stands out for quality, craftsmanship and friendly service — a must-visit for anyone in Jaipur interested in Indian artisanal textiles.
As a frequent traveller seeking something authentic from each destination, distinguishing genuine cashmere from imitation in India can be difficult — this store, recommended by a local Kashmiri, did not disappoint. A wide variety of high-quality, authentic pure cashmere pashmina, scarves and stoles were on offer in both contemporary and traditional designs. The experience was as educational as it was enjoyable.
Beautiful fabrics, good advice, good quality and a good price with absolutely no hassle during the visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to buy scarves in Jaipur.
Wanted shawls as gifts without the patience for haggling in the markets, and found this store online — an excellent choice. Easy to find down the lane near Mansingh Hotel, with an unpretentious look but a great choice of shawls, including styles not seen elsewhere. Prices are fair, there was no pressure, and the visit turned into a relaxed, genuinely interesting experience learning about pashmina.
Came highly recommended and did not disappoint. On a first visit with friends, was shown an excellent range from woolen shawls and stoles to high-end pashmina light enough to fit into a handbag — genuine quality confirmed by past experience buying pashmina from Kashmir. A later WhatsApp order for Himalayan wool stoles was handled smoothly with prompt courier delivery.
A frequent traveller to India who usually buys handloom cashmere and pashmina in Delhi, but was advised by a friend to check this store while in Jaipur — and was glad to have done so. The range of scarves and shawls is genuinely authentic, with hand-embroidered pashmina pieces being especially fascinating, and the overall quality was more than impressive.
Was recommended this shop while looking for quality Kashmiri scarves and pashminas. The owner was highly knowledgeable, clearly quoted fair prices, and even suggested comparing at another shop first. Left initially without buying, then called back a few hours later to confirm a purchase of three pashminas, which were hand-delivered the same day along with a few thoughtful extras.
Always a pleasure to see the collection of Pashmina and Kashmiri shawls, especially the hand-embroidered traditional designs. Every price range is represented, and the owner's deep knowledge of handmade pashmina made it easy to find the right high-end shawl for a friend back home, with prices clearly listed throughout.
Has been buying cashmere shawls here for three years, both as gifts and custom-made pieces from Kashmir. On a recent trip, a shawl bought here drew admiring strangers twice in one day — once at the Leh airport and again while waiting for baggage in Delhi. From simple to spectacular, this store consistently delivers the best price along with the right piece.
After years of visiting Indian cities and being repeatedly disappointed by price versus quality on pashmina, trust had worn thin — until finally finding this store on a trip to Jaipur. Genuinely amazed by the best price, top quality, and honest, professional people who clearly care that customers enjoy their purchase. Has since recommended it to a friend who ordered online and was equally thrilled with the correctness, professionalism, quality and price.
An amazing place with a huge range of textiles from cashmere shawls to cotton wraps, set inside a beautifully furnished shop tucked away on a quiet back street. A full hour was spent looking through woollen, silk and hand-stitched shawls, and every minute of it was worth it — well worth asking to see the pieces kept behind the scenes for real quality.
Visits Jaipur regularly from the US and always enjoys stopping by this gem of a shop, filled with beautifully made, well-priced handcrafted items from Kashmir and beyond. Owner Akib is friendly and straightforward, always offering a fresh cup of kahwa tea while showing his latest pashmina stock, without pushing the most expensive pieces. A great storyteller too, so a visit comes with entertainment included.
Wandered in during a family visit to Jaipur while looking for home decor, with no intention of buying pashmina — and left having made a big purchase. What stood out most was owner Akib's honesty: when his brother priced an older stole without realising its history, Akib stepped in and offered a fair discount instead. A confident, trustworthy approach that made the whole family return hours later to complete the purchase.
Guided here by a friend who had shopped at this family business for years, and glad to have made the trip. Purchased a baby pashmina scarf that turned out to be the favourite souvenir from an entire three-week trip across India, despite buying several other scarves along the way. Highly recommended for anyone seeking genuinely high-quality pashmina.
A very pleasant surprise on a visit in January — hours were spent learning about pashmina and the differences in quality across pieces. What began as a plan to buy just a few shawls and scarves turned into leaving with many delightful finds, with absolutely no pressure to buy throughout. Highly recommended as the first stop for shawls and scarves in Jaipur.
Walked in with no expectations and came away impressed by the honesty of the staff and the quality of the products. Spent hours there with family learning about Kashmiri and pashmina fabrics, with fair prices and a genuinely warm welcome throughout — a rare find of a reliably good shop in India, worth returning to on a future visit.
A chance encounter with a local led to this store, where the owner patiently explained how to tell a quality pashmina from the many fakes in the market, with absolutely no pressure to buy. Purchased three pashminas that have been worn regularly since, looking stunning and holding up beautifully to simple hand washing. As a well-travelled writer and photographer, would not shop anywhere else in the world for this level of quality at this price.
Stumbled upon this store while staying near MI Road in Jaipur and was pleasantly surprised. The Kashmiri owner is knowledgeable and passionate about pashmina, taking the time to explain the different quality levels. Ended up purchasing several shawls featuring unique designs not seen anywhere else in the city, with friendly staff and a shop full of genuine handicrafts throughout.
Mr. Akee was very kind and helpful, and after searching for two days in Jaipur, everything that was being looked for was finally found at this store. Would happily recommend it to others looking for authentic pieces.
Was looking for hand block-printed shawls while in Jaipur and found this store through TripAdvisor. Sourced a strong collection of cashmere and real pashmina for a retail business, with the printing quality described as awesome. Plans to keep buying from here going forward, and recommends the seller for genuinely real quality shawls and stoles.
Akib knows his craft well, especially with high-end scarves. His relaxed, no-pressure approach, paired with tea and free wifi, makes the shop a comfortable place to browse. Has purchased excellent quality pashmina scarves and shawls here on multiple occasions, always leaving feeling like a good deal was made.
As a big fan of Kashmiri handicrafts and shawls, the search for the best showroom ended at this store. It offers the finest quality pashmina shawls and scarves at reasonable, worthwhile prices. Recommended for anyone looking to buy genuine Kashmiri products in Jaipur.
Jaipur turned out to be a wonderful place to finally find real cashmere shawls and pashmina stoles, something not even found in big stores across India — only fakes elsewhere. Discovered this store through TripAdvisor and was thoroughly impressed, with the cashmere shawls purchased being nicer than pieces seen even in big European shops.
Spent hours with a daughter in Akib's shop over many cups of chai tea, leaving with bags full of good-quality pashminas and shawls, both to keep and to gift. Akib patiently explained the history and different qualities, guiding through what was an enjoyable if exhausting decision-making process given the extensive choice. What stood out most was the trust that nothing fake would be sold — a shop wholeheartedly recommended.
Visited a store called Akee International in Jaipur with the most beautiful collection of pashmina shawls and scarves, along with lovely bedspreads. Owner Akib was very knowledgeable and helped greatly with decision-making while purchasing bedspreads, shawls and rugs, and even organised international delivery straight to a home address in Australia.
A trio of friends went looking for genuine pashmina shawls for their mothers and girlfriends, wary of fakes in the main bazaar. Meeting Akib made clear this was the real deal — honest and straightforward rather than pushy. He gave a full lesson on the differences between pashmina, cashmere, wool and silk, and how to judge quality by feel, before the group ended up buying eight or nine shawls between them.
Had long searched for good quality pashmina shawls in Jaipur across several stores without finding the real thing at reasonable prices. Genuinely impressed by the quality at this store, which stocks both plain and embroidered pashmina in every size — fully recommended for anyone looking for authentic quality pieces.
Came across this shop while in Jaipur, filled with handicraft items quite different from the usual market fare. Getting there was a little tricky, so Akib arranged free pickup and drop-off from a nearby hotel. Genuinely loved the quality on offer and picked up both a shawl and a bedspread as gifts for family — a shop not to be missed.
Was searching for modern-design wool shawls to sell back home and had contacted several Indian companies online without being impressed by quality or service. Finally found this store through TripAdvisor and got exactly the kind of product being looked for — some of the best pashmina shawls and modern woollen designs available.
Felt fortunate to find this store through TripAdvisor while looking for plain and embroidered pashmina, especially after struggling to find anything genuine in the bazaars and touristy shops nearby. Enjoyed saffron tea during the visit and picked up wonderful shawls for the family, with Akib's guidance on colours and quality proving genuinely helpful.
Visited the store twice with a partner during an eight-day stay in Jaipur, and it turned out to be a great shopping experience each time — Akib and his team were friendly and hospitable throughout. The pashminas and woollen scarves on offer were the best encountered anywhere in India, with excellent quality and selection.
Ordered bespoke curtains during the holiday season and everything promised was delivered right to the door on time. Genuinely delighted with the fast delivery and hassle-free process of ordering fabric from this store.
Experienced excellent hospitality, clear communication and great quality while shopping for some unique, antique-style items. Friends and relatives back home were genuinely amazed by the quality of the products brought back.
Great communication throughout, with the item received exactly as described — genuinely excellent customer service from start to finish for an order placed from Greece.
Owner Akib and his staff are consistently friendly, patient and kind, with shawls, scarves and bedspreads among the most beautiful ever seen. Every time the scarf bought here is worn, compliments follow on its quality and beauty — a shop well worth visiting for anyone in Jaipur.
Visited Akib's store years ago and spent time drinking tea with him and his brothers, who were friendly and professional throughout. Akib went well beyond expectations, sharing his city and even a trip to Pushkar in the true spirit of Indian hospitality. Still keeps in touch with Akib years later, with fond memories of the visit and a genuine recommendation to stop by his shop.
Akib is an honest, direct salesman with genuine knowledge and quality products to back up his claims. As someone used to city sales tactics, the transparency here stood out, and the shop made for a comfortable, welcoming experience. Products were authentic and top-notch — well worth a visit for items that would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars back home.
The store was close to the hotel and turned into far more than a shopping stop — friendly staff made the visit feel comfortable, and after a couple of hours another traveller was even playing music with the store staff. Good prices, honest and friendly service, and lasting friendships made along the way.
Having visited Jaipur several times, this store has become an unmissable stop each time — a great choice of good quality pashmina shawls at reasonable prices, with genuinely helpful staff. Far better than shopping in the touristy pink city bazaar.
A regular visitor to Jaipur as a gemstone buyer, who stumbled upon this pashmina shop by chance and was thoroughly impressed. Run by people from Kashmir, the store offers genuinely authentic handmade work, including designs suited to both Japanese and European taste. A family member has since switched to ordering exclusively from here after years of importing pashmina to Japan from elsewhere in India.
