About Us
Centuries ago merchants from Europe came to Asia in search of silk and spices. The route these merchants took became known as the silk route. This route stretches over 6,000km and it took merchants months to cross. The world is now shrinking and we can travel the same route in a matter of hours, the result is we no longer restricted to buying goods in our home towns.

Chainstitch
This intricate ART known as chainstitch originated centuries ago in KASHMIR. Chainstitch is done by Hook rather than by needle. The hook is referred to as "ART". This art covers a much larger area than needlework in the same amount of time. All the embroidery is executed in a white cotton fabric which is pre-shrunk. Tiny stitches are used to cover the entire area - figures on motifs are worked in striking colors. Stitches ought to be small evensized and neat. Our chainstitch is handmade and made with natural fibres and dyes. It is advisable to CRY CLEAN ONLY.
