ZARDOZI EMBROIDERY : Known for its regal splendour, Zardozi embroidery traces its origin to the royal Mughal era. The Mughal court was a vibrant melting pot of culture, where artisans from Persia, Central Asia, and India gathered to showcase their finest skills. The royal family's love for rich and luxurous clothing inspired the craftsmen to introduce shiny gold and silver metal to clothing.

The art of weaving metal into fabric in a way that made garments shimmer came to be known as Zardozi. The resulting embroidery was so dazzling that it seemed to glow with the light of the sun.

AARI EMBROIDERY : This embroidery tells a story through threads and beads. It was the Mochi or cobbler community of the Kutch region that popularised this art and it got noticed by the royals of Gujarat.

Aari embroidery gets its name from the needle that is used to do the embroidery, called an Aar. The beauty of the embroidery is that it lets you explore and create. Anyone can use it to express their own individual taste and style. This versatile embroidery is known as Tambour in the west.Aari embroidery is colourful, vibrant and inspired by nature and wildlife. The ripple effects in the embroidery are believed to be inspired by the dunes of the Thar Desert.
