Dark Purple Velvet Sharara 3-Piece Suit with Hand Kora, Pearl & Cutdana Work
This is a three-piece hand-embroidered set in dark purple velvet, paired with a sharara — a wide, flared trouser style that widens from the knee down, distinct from the floor-length farshi shalwar used on another piece in the catalog. The embroidery combines kora metallic thread work, pearl embellishment, and cutdana bead work. Velvet is a heavier, structured fabric typically associated with winter and evening formal wear rather than daytime or summer pieces. Per the source catalog, it's totally hand embroidery work. It's available in Medium only, with one piece in stock, at PKR 49,000.
It suits someone dressing for a winter wedding function or an evening event where a heavier, more structured fabric fits the occasion — velvet holds embroidery differently from chiffon or organza, giving the kora, pearl, and cutdana work more visual weight and depth. The sharara silhouette adds movement through the trouser that a straight-cut shalwar doesn't offer, which is worth highlighting for anyone comparing bottom styles across the catalog's premium pieces. Dark purple pairs naturally with gold or antique jewelry, consistent with the catalog's other jewel-tone formal pieces.
Velvet requires careful handling: dry cleaning is strongly recommended over steam ironing, since direct heat and pressure on velvet can crush the pile and permanently flatten the fabric's texture, in addition to protecting the hand embroidery.

Client Impressions & Atelier Reviews
Reflections from couture collectors and royal patrons celebrating hundreds of hand-stitched hours.
"An absolute masterpiece worthy of royal ceremonial wear"
The 24K gold bullion wire has an unmistakable regal weight that industrial machines simply cannot replicate. The Habotai silk lining feels like a second skin, and the concierge WhatsApp team confirmed my custom floor-skimming hem perfectly before hand-cutting the silk velvet. Exceeded every expectation.
"Heirloom needlework that will be passed down generations"
From the gold-embossed presentation box with cedar hanger to the micro-pearl borders, the attention to craft is extraordinary. The silk velvet has a luminous midnight sheen under evening chandeliers. Delivery arrived in 3 weeks via DHL Express fully insured without a scratch.
"The AI Try-on was remarkably accurate, but in person it is breathtaking"
I was initially hesitant about ordering haute couture overseas, but the virtual fitting room gave me the confidence regarding neckline and drape. When it arrived, the seed pearl embroidery along the cuffs took my breath away. Truly an artisanal jewel.
