Zardozi (from Persian - zar meaning gold, dozi meaning needlework) is one of India's most refined embroidery traditions. It flourished under Mughal patronage and has since become a hallmark of luxury Indian fashion worldwide.

Our atelier practices traditional zardozi using fine gold and silver zari wire, dabka, salma-sitara, and hand-set stones - all stitched by experienced karigars who have trained for years in this art form.

We execute zardozi commissions for couture houses, bridal labels, luxury accessory brands and contemporary designers - from a single signature motif to a fully embroidered panel.
