Questions
Is the Tilla work done by hand?
No. This is machine embroidery in the Tilla style. Hand Tilla takes days per garment and prices in the many thousands.
What is Tilla work?
The Kashmiri embroidery tradition worked in metallic gold or silver thread — traditionally the dressiest of the Kashmiri styles, kept for weddings and festive clothing.
What size is it?
The size shown is the chest measurement in inches, cut relaxed rather than tight. Message us and we will measure the garment flat before shipping.
How do I care for metallic thread?
Cold hand wash, never brush or wring, dry in shade, and iron only on the reverse. A hot iron directly on metallic thread dulls it permanently.
