Our Craft
Twenty years of one technique.
Usha Pasi started with Gujarati cutwork and reverse appliqué on home textiles in 2003 — cushions, bedsheets, dupattas. A few years later, the craft moved to sarees.
The technique is simple to describe and impossible to rush. Layers of fabric are stitched together, then each hole is cut by hand — one at a time — to reveal the pattern beneath. On a single saree, this takes days.
The fabric underneath is always pure tissue silk. Nothing mass-produced carries this work. Every piece is unique.
