It stayed in the valley, stitched onto pashmina shawls, wedding phirans, the kind of garments that stayed in families for generations. When it did leave, it left as dowry, as heirloom, as the thing your aunt brought back from Srinagar and never wore because it was too precious for everyday. The Rohri brings that embroidery to everyday. Made by artisans in Rahim Yar Khan using traditional Kashmiri hand embroidery techniques, where a small hooked needle (the ari) pulls thread through fabric to create chain-stitch patterns. The paisley motifs bloom across the chest and cuffs - not symmetrical, not machine-perfect, shaped by the rhythm of the hand that stitched them. 130+ hours of handwork on flowy khadi cotton, which drapes differently than stiff cotton because the weave is looser, more forgiving. The band collar sits close to the neck without choking - a silhouette borrowed from Nehru jackets and Mao suits, now worn by everyone from Bombay actors to Brooklyn designers. Runs true to size.
