Our heritage
Generations of dedicated mastery in metallic wire and thread
Zari is a metallic thread embroidery tradition built over generations. Each piece is shaped by hand, with the patience and precision that true metallic work demands.
Hand-stretched wooden frames, meticulous stenciling, and hand-guided needle techniques carry that knowledge from one maker to the next.
The process
From tracing to finishing
Step one
Tracing and stenciling
Designs are traced and stenciled onto fabric with care, so every motif is positioned before the first thread is set.
Step two
Framing and needlework
The fabric is secured in a wooden frame and worked by hand, guiding metallic thread through each contour with steady needlework.
Step three
Finishing
Once the work is complete, edges are refined and the piece is prepared so the embroidery keeps its texture and shine.
Materials and making
Ethically sourced silk, velvet, and fine metallic threads built to last
Every piece is made from carefully selected materials and finished by master artisans, so the work carries its character for generations.
