Against a steel grey cotton base, this Kashmiri co-ord set carries a golden aari tilla chest yoke that does all the work. Swirling medallions and border detailing in metallic gold thread — each form built up by hand in a Srinagar workshop. The rest of the piece stays intentionally understated, so the embroidery holds the eye without competition.
Aari Tilla — The Embroidery on This Set
Aari (Kashida) uses a fine hooked needle to pull thread from beneath the fabric, forming dense continuous chain stitches. When worked in metallic Tilla thread, the result is a chest yoke with real visual weight — raised, structured, and rich. The artisan decides every line, every curve, every point where the thread turns. No shortcuts, no repetition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Aari embroidery on this Kashmiri co-ord set?
