CRAFT / FABRIC

Each one of our pants takes 24 hours to bead. The form of hand embroidery we use has no singular name. A direct translation is useful. In Urdu, “moti kashidakari” literally means bead embroidery.

Moti kashidakari originated during the Mughal period to embellish kurtas, rugs, and stoles. Inspired by natural forms like cauliflower, mangoes, and blossoms, the work of the beader is the work of a human interpreting the work of the divine in producing nature.

Motivating the hands of each embroiderer is the impulse to intensely observe the objective world in order to create a subjective rendition. Each weaving movement is an embodiment of the universal obligation to emulate perfection.
