Nelly - Draped Tally Top — Handmade Silver Tulle-bi-Telli Embroidery | ANKH Heritage

Blue like the Nile in daylight. Silver like everything Egypt has always known how to do. The Nelly is a draped Tally top in cornflower blue tulle — hand-embroidered with silver Telly threads in dense geometric bands. Diamonds. Triangles. The ancient symbolic language of Upper Egypt, worn the way it was always meant to be: on a living person, in motion, catching light. The cowl neckline drapes softly at the front — no fastening, no fuss. The silhouette is relaxed and structured at once: fluid through the body, clean at the shoulders. This is the piece that works harder than it looks like it will. Jeans in the afternoon. Linen trousers at sunset. Whatever comes after that. --- Details: Draped cowl neckline Cornflower blue tulle base Full Tally silver embroidery — geometric bands (diamonds, triangles, Upper Egyptian motifs) Sleeveless with structured shoulder line Relaxed, easy fit --- Tally (Tulle-bi-Telli) is a centuries-old craft of Upper Egypt — metal strips threaded by hand through cotton mesh, one stitch at a time, by artisans whose skill is inherited, not learned from a manual. Each piece is made by hand and given its own name. Nelly is one of a limited number.
