About Hand-Embroidered Apparel & Accessories
I see embroidery as something beyond just making things look pretty. For me, it’s a quiet, calming craft that carries family stories and keeps old-school skills alive. If we don’t keep sharing this, it’ll get lost, so I put that love and memory into every piece.
Slow Fashion, Real Legacy
I don’t do mass-produced stuff. Every item is exclusive, made by hand, and meant to last. I work with skilled women artisans and use only top-notch natural fabrics like pure silk and cotton. These are pieces you’ll want to save, not just wear once.
My Collection
- Sarees: My handcrafted saree with Kasuti embroidery on silk and cotton is my pride. There’s ombre Tussar, Kanjeevaram with mirror work, Indo-Japanese Sashiko on Kota, and even a reversible “Flip Saree.”
- Blouses: I have both ready-made and unstitched limited edition embroidered blouses - peacock and floral motifs, heavy or contemporary styles, your pick.
- Accessories: From custom embroidered phone case inserts to Kasuti bookmarks, embroidered yokes, and pin cushions, you’ll find little pieces of art for daily life.
- There’s more - stoles, kaftans, men’s kurtas, and home décor bits.
My Craft Styles
I mix over 25 embroidery forms, from traditional Indian needlework art like Kantha and Kutch to global stitches like Sashiko and Cross Stitch. Every item is my way of keeping these crafts alive, one stitch at a time.

My Story
We’re Sameeksha. Embroidery isn’t just decoration for us—it’s memory, emotion, and a bit of amma’s (mom’s) wisdom stitched in. Started this place so those stories don’t get lost. Every time a student makes something new—like earrings for her little one—it’s pure magic. Needle, thread, and a lot of heart. Teaching hand embroidery keeps us connected, gives us joy. It’s addictive, honestly. Once you start, you’ll see.
My Work

Custom Embroidered Apparel & Sarees - We design and sell unique hand-embroidered sarees, blouses, stoles. Custom orders to match your ideas, even rejuvenate old clothing embroidery.
Personalized Designs, Not Trends - You tell us your colors, motifs, we stitch your story. Each piece is made for you, not the market.
Attention to Technique and Neatness - Neatness matters. Kasuti work—no knots, both sides look just as good. We care about the craft.
