Kashmiri

Discover Kashmiri Collection Online | House of Kari

Kashmiri Aari is a globally recognised embroidery technique that has become a distinct language of its own, it features flowing floral and leafy motifs, and hand embroidery, usually focused on the neckline, sleeves, and hem rather than spread across an entire garment.

House of Kari’s Kashmiri collection builds an entire wardrobe around that technique, translated onto breathable cotton in everyday silhouettes: long kurtas, cotton Kashmiri short kurta, kurta sets, jackets, and a few denim cotton crossovers.

What ties the collection together isn’t a single colour or cut, it spans shades from white, black, and navy to mustard, maroon, and pastel green, and includes everything from a quick everyday short kurta to a layered Farsi-pant kurta set meant for daytime festivities.

Kashmiri Kurta Set

The Kashmiri kurta set allows you to embrace cultural embroidery in the best way possible. Simply pair an embroidered kurta with coordinated, matching bottoms and you know that you’re ready to turn all heads in the room.

Talking about Kashmiri kurta sets, you can pair a shorter kurta with straight pants which makes you feel comfortable and stylish at the same time. As we shift towards nighttime, a navy blue set with Farsi-style pants, featuring a longer kurta with a V-neckline and embroidered borders is the real winner.

These dressier sets work well for office days, daytime gatherings, or low-key festive occasions, while the shorter, more casual sets suit daily wear.

Kashmiri Aari Long Kurta

If you move towards something that leans slightly more luxurious, the Kashmiri Aari long kurta shows up with a notch neckline and a relaxed fit.

We cannot miss out on mentioning the Aari floral motifs, carefully placed along the neckline, sleeves, and hem, making the kurta wearable for everyday occasions while still giving it a finished look.

It’s a piece that moves easily between a workday and a casual evening out, pair it with straight pants or off-white bottoms and the embroidery does the rest of the talking.

Kashmiri Aari Short Kurta and Short Jacket

The Kashmiri Aari short kurta follows a cultural approach to embroidery and can be styled into an easier to style outfit with jeans, palazzos, or straight pants. It is best suited as quick daily wear than a traditional outfit. Its notch neckline and three-quarter sleeves know how to simplify the silhouettes, which makes the floral Aari work stand out.

The Kashmiri Aari short jacket is the layering counterpart. Once it’s cut into a shorter length, the focus moves to its front button-down closure and Aari embroidery which run beautifully across the front and sleeves. Next, the design moves swiftly over a plain kurta, tee, or co-ord set rather than standing alone.

The embroidered jacket is a stylish piece for those who want to style their simpler outfits and add embroidery and structure to a basic outfit without starting from scratch.

Cotton Kashmiri Kurta Set, Long Kurta, and Short Kurta

Across the board, the fabric here is breathable cotton described consistently as soft, structured, and suited to India’s warmer months.

A cotton Kashmiri kurta set typically pairs a relaxed-fit top with coordinating bottoms. The fit across most pieces is described as relaxed or regular, so they’re forgiving rather than fitted, and dry-clean care is recommended throughout to protect the hand embroidery.

Office going women prefer Kashmiri Aari long kurta for usual days as they offer a professional and premium look. A cotton long kurta in Kashmiri Aari work can be styled with straight pants and ballerinas.

Cotton Kashmiri Jackets and Shirts

Apart from kurtas, the collection expands into cotton Kashmiri jackets in multiple lengths and types of necklines including round neck, shirt collar, and notch styles, with each carrying floral Aari motifs across the front and sleeves.

There are also cotton Kashmiri shirts, which bring the embroidery into a more structured, collared silhouette, useful if you prefer a shirt-style cut over a traditional kurta drape.

A handful of pieces, like the Kashmiri embroidered kurta set, combine multiple embroidery tones for a slightly richer, more layered look than the single-tone pieces.

Conclusion

Every piece in the collection is part of House of Kari’s broader identity as a homegrown label built around hand embroidery, with the entire process from sourcing fabric to the embroidery itself carried out locally by women artisans.
