Farshi Pajamas
#knowyourfabrics The Sachin State was a princely state in Gujarat, ruled by Nawabs of the Siddi dynasty of Danda-Rajpuri & Janjira. From the erstwhile royal family is the photo of Begum Sahiba Alima Sultan, wife of HH Nawab Sidi Muhammad Haider Khan. The farshi pajama she wears reflects the grandeur of the era, flowing copiously onto the floor- the farsh. 9-15 yards embroidered in Karchob/Zari/Zardozi, a style we recreate to keep old ways & handwork relevant. Pic with thanks, Saima Kamran
