THE FABRIC
SILK (Resham) – Silk is a natural fiber made by the silk worm cocoon. Silk fibers are robust and known for their luster, shine and durability. All of our silks are woven in the south of India, known for the best silk weaving techniques in the world.
LUREX – Lurex is a metallic yarn with a gold or silver coating to give it a shiny and reflective appearance, much like the moonlight bouncing off the ocean at night.
THE PRINT
EDITION 02 – PAANI (WATER), Reflective Beauty
THE OCEAN PRINT – All of Shwetambari prints are based on original artwork and resin paintings and digitally printed in Mumbai on our luxurious silks and finest cashmere. Edition 02 celebrates the strength and beauty of water, the body that connects and sustains us.
THE EMBROIDERY
KARIGAREE – India is known for some of the finest embroidery techniques (Karigaree) worldwide. These techniques have been passed on from generation to generation. At Shwetambari, we are proud collaborators with some of the most talented artists. Whether it is exquisite thread embroidery (Aari/Zardozi) or the art of Macrame and tassel making (Patwa), these techniques make our unique garments into wearable art.
