Silsila

Chain. Lineage. The thing that doesn't break.

Two colourways, White and Navy, embroidered by hand in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Silsila means a chain, an unbroken line.

For generations, this cross-stitch has edged caps, collars, shawls and sleeves in Gilgit-Baltistan. Women artisans there still stitch it by hand, counting one stitch at a time. Nothing is printed.

On this tee, the band no longer stops at the edge. It runs from shoulder to cuff without a break, an old line carried from the mountains to wherever you wear it.

Tees stitched in Lahore. Motifs embroidered in the North.
