Embroidery for Abu Dhabi.

After years of Gulf commissions, a pattern is clear. Dubai briefs tend to ask for presence. Abu Dhabi briefs ask for quality that does not announce itself: a narrow band of exceptional goldwork on a plain abaya, a placket worked in tonal thread rather than contrast, finishing that reads as expensive without reading as loud.

That is harder to execute, not easier. When there is less embroidery on a garment, every stitch in it is visible. There is nowhere for a weak line to hide.

Private clients, boutiques and designers across the emirate.

• Abaya — cuff, hem, front opening and shoulder work, restrained or full
• Jalabiya and kaftan — placket and panel goldwork for occasions and Eid
• Thobe and kandura — fine collar and placket work where precision is everything
• Traditional Khaleeji goldwork — the classic dense Gulf grammar
• Contemporary arabesque — open, flowing, modern negative space
• Tambour and aari hook work — fine chain stitch, fast and endlessly detailed
• Wedding and majlis occasion wear, plus boutique production runs

We are a Mumbai studio, not a UAE shop. That is the whole reason the pricing works — you commission directly from the atelier with no local retail markup in between.

• Send your design, reference photo or garment image on WhatsApp
• We advise on technique and quote the same working day
• Courier the garment or fabric to Mumbai, or we source base fabric here
• We stitch a sample on your actual fabric and photograph it for approval
• Nothing scales to a full piece or run until you sign that sample off
• Finished work is inspected front and back, wrapped and couriered to Abu Dhabi

Courier to Abu Dhabi typically runs three to six working days each way. The variable is customs clearance rather than the flight, so build in a buffer beyond the courier estimate — you will rarely need it, and the once you do, you will be glad it was there.

Import duty is the receiver’s responsibility and varies by declared value and category. We declare shipments accurately and give you the figures in advance. For Ramadan and Eid, commission in November or December rather than January; the final weeks before Eid congest every courier route in the region.
