- GI authentication and documented weaver identity can distinguish authentic Kashmiri woolens from competing products with weaker provenance.
- The publication examines how provenance signals influence retail premiums, buyer confidence and luxury-market positioning.
- Blockchain-supported certification can provide an additional traceability layer connecting product origin, authentication and documented history.
- Provenance therefore functions not only as an authenticity mechanism but also as a potential commercial value driver.
