English willow wicker craft, locally referred to as Keani Keam, is a hand skilled craft from Kashmir involving hand weaving using willow reeds.
Basket-weaving is one of the world’s oldest crafts, and one of the most distinctive products of this craft is Kangri, a wicker basket used to carry clay pots filled with smouldering coal that local people hold under their flowing pherans to keep warm during the freezing winter. It is not commonly used anymore.

Available in 2 colors of shoulder straps- black and brown, this handcrafted backpack is unisex and roomy, it can easily accomodate a day's picnic stuff or even can be used as a sleepover bag to keep one's change of clothes, toiletries and basics for travel.
