Hand Zardozi Blazer Crest

For blazer pockets, ceremonial sashes and anything that will be photographed close up. The crest is worked on the garment itself, not on a patch that is then stitched down, so there is no visible edge and no backing card. Fine lettering is worked in nakshi at a smaller gauge than the body of the crest so it stays legible at 90mm. Minimum order is one piece — this is deliberately not a volume product. How it is made Padded satin ground laid first to give the crest its relief, then dabka and kora couched over it. Lettering is worked last, in a single continuous line per letter so the strokes do not break. What it suits School and college blazers, regimental and club crests, ceremonial wear, and awards. Send us the logo as a vector file or a clean photograph and we will send back a stitch plan before starting.

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

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

• 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.
