The Collection

Thirty-eight pieces, eight crafts, one of each.

38 pieces are available this season.

10 Pieces

Resham Embroidery

Coloured silk thread worked freehand: vines, blossom, birds, whole gardens set into cotton and georgette.

4 Pieces

Chikankari

White thread worked into white cloth, legible only when the light moves across it.

2 Pieces

Gota Patti

Flat gold ribbon folded and laid into the cloth rather than stitched in thread.

1 Piece

Zardozi

Metal thread couched by hand over a frame; the oldest and slowest of the gold crafts.

2 Pieces

Jamdani

Extra thread laid in by hand as the silk is woven, so the flowers sit inside the cloth, not on it.

16 Pieces

Zari Brocade

Silver and gold thread figured into the silk on the loom, so the flowers are the cloth rather than something laid over it.

1 Piece

Rangkat

Coloured warps cut and rejoined mid-loom, so the bands change colour inside the weave with nothing printed or dyed after it.

2 Pieces

Patola Weave

Motifs carried inside the weave rather than printed onto it, closed with a zari-striped border.

Shop by City

Craft is the main door. City is where the thread began.

Most of the current catalogue is worked in Delhi’s ateliers. The other cities are opening one piece at a time.
