Vintage Abla Set | Madder

The Abla Kurta features a yoke with dense mirrorwork (abla kaam) and multicoloured embroidery from Kutch. It is paired with an organza silk odhana and a lehenga printed with yellow rogan dots. Zardosi embroidery, gota patti, and beadwork complete the ensemble, providing a shining contrast to the deep madder-red base. Metallic embroideries like zardosi, marodi, and ari now feature in most ceremonial outfits, evoking grandeur on fabrics such as silk and velvet. Equally beautiful are folk embroideries, with their spontaneous use of mirrors, cowries, coins, and pompoms. In the image, the outfit is styled with a Rabari man’s belt from the same region in Gujarat as the embroidery.

The Vintage Project creates modern heirlooms from old embroideries, resulting in one-of-a-kind outfits that stem from a history of exemplary craftsmanship.
