Shahi Tukri

The magical art of tukri work, sweeter than the dessert with none of the calories. Craving Kaju katli anyone? While this blogpost isn’t exactly about the delicious cashew mithai, but the craft in focus today is just as sweet! Delicious, tiny, delectable; tukri work! ‘Tukris’ or ‘pattis’ are small pieces of fabric which are hand folded to form minuscule diamond shapes to be used in the craft of Ralli appliqué, when used just on its own it makes for stunning testaments of the intricacy and labour intensiveness of Sindhi craft work. Each tukri is individually formed by hand and then blind stitched on to the fabric one by one to make the final motif, sometimes as many as a 1000s of tukris may be used on just the front of a fully worked kamiz. In case you couldn’t tell; we hereby officially confirm generation’s obsession with this timeless craft! We’re tukri lovers for life! Here’s presenting some of our favourite testament to the craft, which by the way are still available for you to buy!
