Material

Repurposed sari fabric, hand-embroidered with Aari technique.

Origin Story

Aari embroidery is a traditional Indian hooked-needle chain-stitch technique, originating in Gujarat's Banaskantha district of Kachchh. It was historically used to embellish household items and leather goods before being applied to textiles.

Artisan

Each earring is crafted by skilled female artisans, celebrating their expertise and supporting their livelihoods.

Craftsmanship

The Aari needle, a specialized hooked tool, enables artisans to create fine, continuous loops and unbroken curves with precision. The fabric is stretched on a frame (adda or karchob) to maintain tension while the hooked needle forms chain stitches.

Sustainability Impact

By using repurposed sari fabric, these earrings support circular fashion, upcycling existing textiles and reducing waste.

Unique Features

Statement heart drop design, combining traditional embroidery with contemporary style.
