Hand Embroidery Atelier

Bridal embroidery,worked stitch by stitch

Zardozi, dabka, aari and stonework, planned around your fabric, your timeline and the story you want stitched into it. Every piece is drawn first, then built by hand in our studio.

What We Take On

Four kinds of commission

Each one starts the same way — a conversation about the occasion, the fabric and what you want the piece to say.

Bridal Couture

Blouses, lehengas and dupattas in zardozi, dabka, aari and stonework — matched across a full trousseau.

Enquire →

Wall Art & Jharokha Panels

Framed jharokha and temple facade panels, single pieces or matched sets for doorways and gifting.

Enquire →

Custom Motif Commissions

Send a sketch, a photograph or a family motif — it's redrawn for thread and worked to size.

Enquire →

Restoration & Re-embroidery

Old zardozi pieces re-set stone by stone, or a worn border rebuilt to match the original thread.

How a Piece Gets Made

The same four stages, whether it's one blouse or a twelve-piece trousseau.

Consultation

We talk through the occasion, the fabric you already have and a rough size and budget.

Sketch & Thread Plan

Your motif is drawn to scale and a thread, bead and stone plan is worked out before a needle touches fabric.

Stitching

Worked on the frame by our karigars, with progress photos shared along the way for larger commissions.

Dispatch

Matched pieces are photographed together for your record, then packed flat in tissue.

From Past Commissions

What clients tell us

People love their pieces
4.9/5

Based on completed commissions

★★★★★

"They matched five blouses to my mother's old dupatta thread for thread — you couldn't tell which piece was decades old."

Divya R.
★★★★★

"I sent a photo of my grandmother's saree border and they redrew it for a wall panel. It's the first thing guests notice."

Meera K.
★★★★★

"Six weeks for a full trousseau and every piece arrived on the date we agreed. The stonework held up through two functions."

Priya S.
★★★★★

"They rebuilt a torn zardozi border on a piece I thought was beyond saving. You'd never find the join."

Why Tezzea

Made by hand, since day one

We're a small studio, not a factory floor — every piece that leaves us has been checked stone by stone by someone who worked it.

  • Drawn to scale before a single stitch is worked
  • Bridal sets matched across every piece in a trousseau
  • Timelines agreed up front, with progress photos on request
  • Restoration work re-sets original stones wherever it can

Stop by the studio

Bring a fabric sample or an old piece and we'll talk through it in person.
