Dabka
Fine metallic wire coiled by hand, stitch by stitch. Raises off the cloth in a way no machine can replicate.
Our Materials
These are not just materials. They are deliberate choices. Each one handpicked for its rarity, its resistance, and its refusal to be rushed. The most difficult to work with, because the finest results demand nothing less.
Indian Tilla
Spun from real metallic filament. Carries a weight and warmth synthetic gold thread cannot replicate.
Gokhru
Spiked metallic forms anchored into embroidery. Rooted in ancient craft, placed here with considered intent.
Naqshi
Counted needlework mapped entirely from memory. Every motif placed without a printed guide.
Sequence
Each disc individually anchored by the needle. Luminous, dimensional, impossible to produce at scale.
Lappa
Woven metallic ribbon couched onto fabric. Gives a design the structure a frame gives a painting.
Anchor thread
Mercerised cotton from one of embroidery's oldest houses. Holds colour across generations.
Cut dana
Faceted metallic beads cut to catch light at every angle. The final edge on a finished motif.
Resham thread
Pure silk with a natural liquid sheen. No synthetic thread has ever matched its warmth on needlework.
Crystal beads
Precision-cut and placed by eye, never in bulk. Refractive quality shifts with every movement of the wearer.
Beads
Sourced and threaded one by one, chosen for colour depth and uniformity of size.
