Araseli

Echoing Mughal splendor, this four-piece ensemble in charcoal velvet tells a story of light meeting texture. The chogha carries handworked zardozi, sequins, and kamdani — every motif rendered in warm gold, copper, and silver. Floral vines descend from the shoulders into a fine lattice of geometry, birds, and bouquets in a glimmering symphony. Artfully arranged florals trace the neckline, flowing down the front-open form. The cuffs match the rhythm, while the sleeves are patterned with more floral details. Framing the piece, florals edged in cutwork line the hem, tying back into the organic definition and movement on the sleeves, neckline, and placket. The matching izaar and solid camisole balance the richness above, with a shimmering nod on the izaar hems, matching in form and craft. Completing the vision, a velvet dupatta, bordered in matching handwrought geometries with blooming florals and birds at each corner, is a modern ode to royal ateliers and the patience of hand embroidery.
