When we think about a dupatta, the first things that come to mind are softness, elegance, beautiful embroidery, comfort, and something that is easy to carry.
But a dupatta is so much more than just a piece of fabric.
It is an important part of traditional Indian dressing. We wear dupattas with suits, sarees, and lehenga cholis, and they have been an essential part of our culture and celebrations for generations.
Keeping all of this in mind, we wanted to bring something truly special to Abeera Haus — the Phulkari dupatta from Punjab.
For our Phulkari dupattas, we use different types of threads and traditional embroidery techniques. One of the most beautiful elements is the use of soft, untwisted floss silk thread, which gives the embroidery its beautiful sheen and makes the colours appear rich and vibrant.
The word Phulkari literally means “flower work” or “flower embroidery.” But the beauty of Phulkari goes beyond flowers. Traditional designs can include geometric patterns, beautiful motifs, peacocks, and elements inspired by celebrations, weddings, and everyday life.
Historically, Phulkari was closely connected to the women of Punjab and their homes. Women and girls learned embroidery from an early age, often creating beautiful embroidered pieces by hand for their families. These could include dupattas, suits, shawls, and household textiles, many of which were lovingly prepared as part of a daughter’s wedding trousseau.
That is what makes a Phulkari dupatta so special.
It is not simply a dupatta.
It carries love, memories, tradition, and emotion.
For many women, an embroidered piece gifted by their mother becomes something they treasure for years - a reminder of home, family, and the hands that lovingly created it.
At Abeera Haus, we want to keep that feeling alive.
Because when you wear a Phulkari, you aren’t just wearing embroidery.
You are carrying a story.
