Royal Embroidery
Zardozi & Gold Thread Work
At Gulbhahar, royal embroidery is part of our daily work and tradition, and each piece is made slowly, with focus on small details, just like in earlier times. Zardozi and gold thread work are old techniques that people in Indian culture have been using for many years. People usually use them for weddings and special occasions. We like to keep our designs simple and true to where they come from. Our suits are made with fabric and have light embroidery that looks very royal. Our suits are also very comfortable to wear. We use embroidery and Zardozi to make them stand out. The sarees have gold thread work that adds beauty without making them heavy, so they are easy to carry for long hours. Our Lehngas are made with careful handwork that gives a festive look.
The same hand embroidery can be seen on the juttis, where the detailed work adds beauty while keeping them comfortable on the feet. Our juttis are made in a way that they feel easy on your feet. We also use this embroidery on our bags. It gives our bags a feel, and it is still easy to carry them around and use them. Gulbhahar bags and juttis go well with the Jewellery we make. The Jewellery is made to go with clothes that have embroidery on them. This way, you can wear everything together. It looks great. Every single Gulbhahar product is made by hand by artisans.

Banarasi and Silk Weaving are traditional ways of weaving that have been passed down from generation to generation. These Beautiful Fabrics are famous for their beauty and strength. Gulbhahar's focus is on simple designs that highlight the fabric instead of covering it up with heavy designs. The fabric is woven on handlooms in a slow process where every thread is woven with love and patience. It takes time, but it gives the fabric a rich look and natural shine. Banarasi and silk fabrics are traditional, so they are preferred for weddings and functions.
These fabrics are used in Gulbhahar collections to create suits, sarees, and lehengas that look beautiful and easy to wear. The soft silk fabric makes the outfit comfortable while the woven patterns add quiet beauty. The handloom work can be seen in accessories like bags, where woven fabrics give a traditional touch without making them heavy.
