The Exquisite Craftsmanship

When a pure handmade Pashmina shawl is chosen to come under the shimmers of Tilla Dozi, even the artisan is not in a position to imagine how breath-taking the complete piece would look. It's just a matter of time.

History of Tilla: Originally Tilla was done using real gold and silver threads. That was a time when Tilla embroidered epoch pieces were draped by the nobles and the royal class of the society. The metals were hammered into wires and passed through needles and embroidered over apparel and accessories, especially for brides. Such a piece would never age or should we say it would become antique with time. However the glory didn't last long, and gold and silver had to be replaced with metals with however a top coating of the same precious elements.

The process of Tilla Dozi:

Making the Design: A Naqash (designer) draws the design over the tracing paper, and later perforates this paper along the edges with the help of a specialized needle.

Tracing design over shawl: This tracing paper is placed over the shawl to be embroidered and a duster filled with natural ink (sand and kerosene) is passed over it. This causes the design to reflect over the shawl

Embroidering the shawl: This imprinted cloth is passed on to a Tilla Doz (an expert Tilla embroiderer), who uses a malleable copper wire coated with real gold or silver to craft beautiful motifs over the shawl. The strokes of the metal are fastened by a camouflaging thread, which makes sure the thread is held tight and in place with the underlying Pashmina base.

Finishing the shawl: The resulting shawl is sent for washing and ironing. It is made sure that hot iron doesn't come in direct contact with Tilla lest it tampers its timeless sheen.
