How provenance works
01
Sourced
We buy directly from growers and weavers our family has worked with in Kashmir — one field, one loom, named on the record.
02
Assayed
Each saffron lot is graded against ISO 3632 by an independent laboratory. Textiles carry fibre, weave and GI references.
03
Addressed
The lot number travels with the product. You can trace what you bought back to where and by whom it was made.

The maker
Ghulam Nabi Bhat
Saffron grower · Pampore, Pulwama, Kashmir · 41 years
Ghulam Nabi farms on the karewa uplands above Pampore, where the soil drains fast and the autumn nights turn cold early — the two conditions saffron needs. He picks at first light, before the flowers open fully, and separates the three stigmas by hand the same day. His yield is small by design: he replants corms on a fifteen-year cycle rather than pushing the field. We buy his entire October lot each year.
“We source through our own family in Kashmir. The distance between the field and this page is short, and we can show you all of it.”
