Suits
At PESH, our suits and sets are rooted in the Kashmiri embroidery tradition — specifically in Aari work, the hooked-needle technique that builds dense floral patterns from below the surface of the fabric — but the edit also includes Kani-woven suit fabric, silver Zari embroidery, and Resham threadwork across a range of base fabrics from premium wool to silk-cotton blends. Every piece has been chosen because the craft is real, the fabric is honest, and the result is something you will reach for again and again.
The Kani Suits. The same weaving technique that produces our Kani sarees — wooden spool-bobbins, pattern held in memory, months on the handloom — applied to suit fabric. A Kani suit is rarer than a Kani saree because the dimensions are less forgiving and the technique more demanding when applied to structured separates. The Off White Kani and the Mustard Yellow Kani in our collection are among the most technically accomplished pieces we carry. If you own one, you own something that most people who claim to know Kashmiri craft have never seen in person.
The Aari Embroidered Suits. This is where the Kashmiri Aari needle finds its most wearable expression. A dense floral jaal worked across the yoke and body of a kurta in multi-colour Resham thread — reds, blues, greens, gold — on a base of premium winter wool or soft cotton. The embroidery is applied by hand, stitch by stitch, with a hooked needle that pulls thread from below the surface of the fabric to create a loop that locks in place. No two pieces are identical. The Ivory White Aari Suit, the Rani Pink, the Chilli Red, the Midnight Black Kurta Set — each one is a different conversation between the same technique and a different colour world.
The Zari Embroidered Suits. Where metal meets fabric. Silver Zari thread — real metallic thread, not silver-coloured synthetic — woven into a dense floral landscape on mustard fabric that catches light differently with every movement. Zari embroidery has its origins in Mughal court dress and remains one of the most labour-intensive surface techniques in Indian textile craft. A Zari-embroidered suit is the kind of piece that photographs brilliantly and wears even better.
The Corded Pashmina Sets. A sophisticated departure from embroidery — here, the surface interest comes from the fabric itself. A corded texture built into the Pashmina weave creates a subtle rhythmic dimension that catches light without requiring embellishment. Designed for mild winters and crisp evenings, this is the suit for the woman who prefers quiet luxury to obvious statement.
One final thing about our suits that is worth saying plainly: we do not use AI-generated lifestyle imagery. Every photograph of every piece is the actual fabric, in actual light, showing the actual craft. What you see on our product pages is what arrives at your door. We believe that when you are spending ₹3,299 or ₹6,650 on a handcrafted piece, you deserve to see exactly what you are buying.
