Discovering India's Living Heritage...
Each piece is completely handcrafted by master artisans, preserving heritage lineages spanning multiple centuries.
Vibrant hand-embroidered dupatta featuring dense geometric flower motifs in untwisted 'Pat' silk thread on soft fabric.
Literally translating to 'flower work' (Phul = Flower, Kari = Work), Phulkari has been the pride of Punjabi bridal trousseaus for generations. Embroidered from the reverse side of handspun fabric using untwisted silk floss (Pat) threads, the geometric diamond and flower stitches create a textured, shimmering tapestry.
When you acquire this handcrafted artifact, you actively support indigenous artisan cooperatives, preventing age-old master techniques from disappearing in the era of mass industrial manufacturing.
