The dressiest kurtas we carry: chikankari-style, thread and sequin, vine and scroll embroidery, for weddings, the sangeet and Diwali night. Each set comes with a pajama. From ₹3,499, sizes 38 to 44 online. Delhi's kurta shop since 1972.
An embroidered kurta does the work for you. The colour, the pattern and the shine are already on the garment, so the rest of the outfit can stay quiet. Many men who ask us about embroidery are worried about one thing: looking overdressed. The answer is almost always the same. Choose one piece with work, and keep everything else plain.
This collection holds every embroidered kurta pajama set we carry online. They are grouped in three looks, so you can find the right level of dress for the function.
Vine embroidery is the gentlest kind: a pattern that runs down the placket and across the collar, easy to wear in daylight. The Ice Blue Vine-Embroidery and the Seafoam Mint Vine-Embroidery, both ₹3,999, suit a puja, an engagement lunch or a family function at home. The chikankari-style sets are the next step: the Sky Blue, the Mauve and the Bottle Green, all ₹3,499, each with a straight pajama. For more on this look, read our chikankari kurta gift guide.
The scroll-panel kurtas carry heavier work and richer colour. The Mustard Gold Scroll-Panel and the Rust Terracotta Scroll-Panel, both ₹3,999, suit Diwali night and a daytime wedding. For the sangeet, the Deep Maroon, the Purple Magenta Damask and the Sea Green Teal, all ₹3,999, hold their colour under stage lights.
The double-scroll sets use two tones of one colour, so the work shows on close inspection and stays calm from a distance. The Charcoal Grey Double-Scroll, ₹3,999, is a good answer for men who dislike bright colours. The Sage Sand Melange Double-Scroll is a soft neutral for a daytime wedding.
Wear one piece of work at a time. If the kurta is embroidered, keep the pajama plain, the shoes simple and the jewellery to a watch or a kada. If you want to add a stole or a jacket, pick a plain one in a colour that sits in the embroidery. Our guide to how to accessorise a kurta shows you how.
Embroidery looks best on a kurta that sits right. Check the shoulder and chest numbers on the product page against a kurta you already own, because embroidered panels do not give the way a plain surface does. Sets with a churidar look sharper with a slim shoe, and the straight pajama sets look easier. Every size online lists the real chest, length, shoulder and sleeve.
Online, sizes run 38 to 44 today. Both our shops also carry plus sizes up to 6XL and kurtas for boys and babies, coming online soon. For a whole family or a wedding party, message us on WhatsApp with the sizes and we will send photos from the shop floor.
No, Diwali is the right moment for it. Choose soft work for the puja and heavier scroll work for the evening.
For an office Diwali party, yes. A quiet one such as the charcoal grey double-scroll works. Skip the heavy panels for a regular workday.
No. The work is the point, and a jacket covers it. If it is cold, choose a plain jacket in a colour from the kurta.
Follow the care label. Our product pages advise dry cleaning for the first wash, and gentle care after that.
Chikankari-style work is fine, light and tonal, usually in a soft colour. Scroll embroidery uses bolder lines and richer thread colour, and suits evenings.
