Amreen
A tale of regal grandeur woven in the enduring Kadhua weave. Inspired by the Deccan Kalamkari tradition, ornate floral arrangements bloom across lustrous Katan silk. Crafted in zari meenakari, the central motifs feature the anaar — a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and abundance. A play of restraint and richness unfolds as dainty floral bootas scatter subtly across the body, while a dense tapestry forms along the hem. The result is a delicate harmony between the Deccan’s bold exuberance and Tilfi’s quiet sophistication.
The ensemble is paired with a handwoven dupatta adorned with dainty bootas across its body and hand-embroidered florals unfurling along the borders, finished with velvet facings. Complementing it is a handwoven blouse delicately embroidered with floral accents that lend grace and finesse to the look.

Color - A deep shade of blue
-
Fabric - Soft as butter, pure Katan silk
-
Technique - An enduring Kadwa weave and Meenakari. The elaborate and laborious Kadwa (Kadhua) technique involves hand-weaving each motif separately. It takes longer on the handloom, but it makes a more robust pattern that stands out on the fabric. Meenakari involves the painstaking addition of supplementary coloured resham threads during the hand-weaving process.

Collection Note - A celebration of the imaginative artistry that flourished in the royal courts of the Deccan, Tilfi’s Bridal collection finds its roots in heritage. Inspired by the lyrical floral artistry of Kalamkari paintings, the collection evokes a surreal dreamscape where florals blur the line between the real and the imagined. Merging Deccan opulence and regalia with the symmetrical harmony of the Islamic school of art, it celebrates the continuity of tradition and the grandeur of a bygone world, while carrying a promise of a future shaped by vision and artistry.
