India
has been known for centuries for her silks, cottons, and linens dyed in rich colors,
printed in unique patterns, and then further embellished with embroidery, mirrors,
and sometimes even precious jewels. Due to their exquisite craftsmanship, tightly
embroidered vintage borders and motifs usually outlast the delicate fabrics onto
which they were applied. Today, it is nearly impossible to find fabrics with xari
and other precious embellishments intact, nor are there many craftspeople left
who are carrying on this rich tradition. Xari Couture has traveled
all over India to bring you the very best vintage textiles, mixed with today's
fabrics, tailored to your style and then painstakingly embellished by skilled
artisans. We have also located master goldsmiths to make precious or costume jewelry,
and we can provide other accessories for the person and for the home. |
