Get it quoted

This is per-piece logo work on an item you supply, so there is nothing to size or stitch to here. Send us these on WhatsApp and we will quote it:

The garment or item the logo goes on — and who is supplying it
Placement: left chest, sleeve, back, cap front, apron bib
Finished width in millimetres
Thread colours, or the brand colours to match
Quantity for this run
Your artwork — a vector file if you have one

The per-piece rate and the minimum order differ between the hand and machine lines. Both are confirmed on the quote, before anything is stitched.

Send your artwork on WhatsApp

The frame for this line is 10–14 working days. The date is confirmed on the quote, once the artwork and quantity are settled.

Details

The small, quiet version. Two or three letters in a single weight of zari, worked in aari chain stitch so the line stays even around the curves. We set the letterforms by hand from your typeface rather than digitising them, which is why the strokes taper the way calligraphy does and machine lettering does not. How it is made Aari chain stitch throughout, one continuous line per stroke. Pearls only where a serif or terminal needs weight. What it suits Trousseau linen, gift sarees, hotel and restaurant napery, boutique labels. Priced per placement; ask for the rate on runs above twenty pieces.

Work tier	Medium work
Coverage	Monogram — 40 to 80mm
Materials	Thread & zari, Pearl & bead
Motifs	Monogram, Initial, Fine border
Approx. hours on the frame	5 hours

Each piece is worked by hand, so slight irregularities are part of it, not a defect.

Country of origin: India — worked at our T. Nagar, Chennai studio. Shipping policy

Returns & alterations

Made-to-measure pieces are not returnable — they are cut against your body. What we do promise in writing: one free alteration within 15 days of delivery for anything on our side, and a loose stone re-fixed free for 6 months. Once a blouse is cut, a neckline or back cannot be made shallower, and a heavily embroidered panel cannot be let out. Full policy

Care

Dry-clean only. Never machine wash, never soak, never hand-wash. Water dulls zari, tarnishes zardozi wire and can rust the metal in kundan settings.
Tell your dry-cleaner it is hand embroidery with metal work and stones, and ask for gentle solvent cleaning with the work protected. Avoid cleaners who press the piece flat under a machine.
For a small mark, dab — do not rub — with a dry white cloth, and take it to the cleaner rather than treating it at home.
Iron only from the reverse, on low heat, with a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Never iron over stones, kundan or 3-D motifs at all. Press the plain areas around them.
Turn the blouse inside out before storing, so the work faces inward.
