🧵Craftsmanship Spotlight: Indian “Silk” Style Embroidery (Zardozi)
The patch is made using a traditional Indian-style embroidery technique known as Zardozi, often referred to as “Indian silk” work. It features brass wire bullion thread, hand-stitched onto fabric — a meticulous and time-intensive method historically used in military and royal insignia across South Asia.

Each patch is individually handcrafted, with rich textures and vibrant colors. The detailing includes metallic gold, silver, black, blue, and red threads, producing a stunning 3D effect.
