Evolution has always been constant and will keep on evolving till the mankind will be there in the universe.

Since the inception of yarn, followed by fabric, humans all across the world has always been contributing to the textile industry in various ways. One such dominant style is “Embroidery”, style of decorating fabric with different combinations of colors of thread, with the help of a needle..

It’s the art of ornamentation inspired by nature, mythological stories and surroundings etc.

Where a lot of imagination, color combination, hard work, patience and time goes behind, in every design.

Indian embroidery has its own glorious history and charm. Globally when we talk about Indian Fabrics, arts and craft…what strike, first are vibrant colors, as India has always been known for its vibrant color pallets.

Indian motifs, designs, and color pallets are very region specific. As India is a nation of multi-linguistic, so is its culture and design details, this inspiration is from nature, religion. Indian style is so dominantly region specific, that by seeing any form of art, it’s easy to tell its place of origin.

Globally since the introduction of machine embroidery along with fast fashion, these man-made machines have overruled this form of art.
