Why No Two Tabeer Pieces Are the Same: The Beauty of Hand Embroidery
In an age of mass production and algorithm-led fashion, where garments are rolled out by the hundreds and "new drops" happen weekly, the idea of uniqueness has become almost elusive. Yet, tucked away in artisan homes and design studios like ours, there exists a slower, more soulful way of creating: through hand embroidery. At Tabeer by Rakhi Sharma, each garment is lovingly handcrafted, not just stitched. And that means no two pieces are ever exactly alike. But rather than seeing this as inconsistency, we see it as intention, a celebration of the human hand, heritage, and the quiet poetry of imperfection. Hand embroidery is more than a decorative art—it’s a language. It speaks in mirror glints, dori loops, katdana textures, and imperfectly perfect threadwork. It carries with it the artisan’s rhythm, skill, and even mood. One artisan might place a motif a little higher, another might thread slightly tighter, and someone else may take an extra second on a flower, adding a little flourish of her own. These nuances—almost invisible to the hurried eye—are what make each Tabeer piece a one-of-one. Unlike machine embroidery, which reproduces the same pattern across hundreds of garments, hand embroidery ensures that every stitch carries its own personality. And with that, a kind of quiet luxury is born—the kind that doesn’t need a logo to be recognised. In a world where “bestsellers” are produced in bulk, Tabeer chooses a different path: micro-batches, slow processes, and mindful production. We don’t make hundreds of a single design because we don’t believe in uniformity. We believe in individuality. Every mirror stitched, every motif placed, every line of thread—it all comes together to form a piece that’s not just madefor you, but also made once. Because we don’t believe clothing should just fit your body.It should reflect your values, your individuality, your story.Why It Matters More Today? As conversations around sustainability, authenticity, and craftsmanship take centre stage, there’s growing awareness about where our clothes come from—and who makes them. Customers are no longer drawn only to the final product but to the process behind it. And in that process, hand embroidery stands tall—as an ode to patience, skill, and imperfection as beauty. Wearing a hand-embroidered Tabeer garment is not just about fashion; it’s about making space for slowness in a fast world. It’s about choosing fewer, finer things that are made to last. It’s about wearing clothing that tells a story, even if only you know it. EXPLORE COLLECTION TODAY!

The Charm of Chanderi
There’s something quiet regal about Chanderi. It is one of the only fabrics that drapes like a dream, breathes with the body, and hold within its delicate weave centuries of heritage. Originating from the historic town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, this fabric has long been associated with royalty and spiritual simplicity. Believed to have been introduced between the 2nd and 7th centuries, Chanderi rose to prominence during the Mughal era, where it was favoured for its fine texture and sheen. Worn by queens, courtiers, and connoisseurs of craft, it became synonymous with elegance without excess. What Makes Chanderi So Special, You ask? Chanderi is traditionally woven using silk, cotton, or zari threads. The hallmark of this fabric is its lightweight, sheer texture and subtle shimmer, making it perfect for both everyday elegance and festive dressing. But what truly sets it apart are: Intricate motifs like ashrafi (coin), butis (small floral), peacocks, and temple borders A handwoven quality that ensures no two pieces are exactly alike Its ability to be both minimalistic and ornamental depending on design And at Tabeer, we are the connoisseurs of quintessential Indian textiles. We work with artisans and weavers who carry generations of knowledge at their finger tips. Our Chanderi silhouettes are thoughtfully designed to blend the traditional beauty of the fabric with contemporary pret wear aesthetics for the modern women! Think: Easy overlays like our hand-embroidered overshirts Breezy Chanderi dresses layered with shrugs Elegant Sarees with hand embroidered embellishments We believe in creating clothing that moves with the body, not against it. Chanderi, in its lightness and soul, is the perfect partner. So, whether you’re dressing for a family lunch, a boardroom meeting, or a festive gathering, a piece of Chanderi is never out of place. Pair it with minimal accessories, slip-on flats, or even sneakers - the versatility is what makes it timeless!
