Design Details
A dusty rose kora cotton kurta with a richly embroidered Phulkari yoke, its florals worked in coral, mustard, sage and blue, and small embroidered bootis scattered across the body. The matching pink dupatta carries an embroidered border, and pink trousers complete the set. The soft pink ground keeps the dense multicoloured handwork from feeling heavy, which makes it a graceful pick for weddings, festive functions and daytime celebrations.

My Story
Phulkari means ‘flower work’, and in Punjab it was never something you bought - it was something a grandmother began stitching when a girl was born, so that a finished odhni waited for her wedding day. The craft is worked from the back of the cloth in long darning stitches of untwisted floss silk, laid so densely that the surface turns almost entirely to thread. Every motif carries meaning: wheat sheaves for a good harvest, birds and figures for the life the bride was about to begin. It survived Partition in the trunks families carried with them, and it is stitched by hand to this day.
Wash and Care
Wash in cold water with a mild detergent, separately for the first two or three washes as natural dyes may bleed a little. Do not bleach or wring. Dry in the shade to keep the colour true, and press on a medium heat while slightly damp.
