We are a small studio working with embroiderers in and around Srinagar, in the Vale of Kashmir. The work we make has not substantially changed in five hundred years — wool worked on cotton, linen, jute, or velvet, by hand, one stitch at a time.

A meter of dense crewel embroidery can take a single artisan two to three weeks of steady work to complete. There is no shortcut, and the pieces that come out of our atelier carry the small variations of that human pace — slight pulls in tension, a deliberate change in stitch direction, a tiny initialled signature on the reverse. We think those marks are the point.

We sell most of what we make directly to homes and to designers — no middlemen, no licensed reproductions. If you’d like to commission something specific (a colorway, a set of drapes, a reupholstered chair), we love that work. Write to us.
