The Curation: “Our ‘Ferdous’ collection is one we’d especially like to highlight this year. It embodies Dareaab’s vision of modern bridal couture through regal silhouettes, intricate zardozi and resham embroidery, luxurious fabrics, and meticulous hand craftsmanship. Alongside Ferdous, ‘Rubaiyat’ offers a more artistic interpretation of occasion wear, while ‘Work of Worship’ showcases our signature embroidered suits, each collection celebrating a different expression of Kashmiri artistry. Inspired by the region’s rich heritage, floral motifs, and architectural influences, every piece is designed as an heirloom to be treasured beyond a single celebration. Depending on the intricacy of the embroidery, an ensemble can take anywhere from three to six months to complete.”

The Silhouette: “Our signature embroidered jackets and cape silhouettes are undoubtedly the most versatile pieces in the collection. They can be styled over saris, lehengas, shararas, dresses or even contemporary separates, allowing the wearer to reinterpret them across multiple occasions. We love seeing our clients make these pieces their own, styled differently each time, yet always carrying the same sense of craftsmanship and individuality.”
The Wedding Look: “For a bride, I would recommend one of our ‘Ferdous’ bridal ensembles. The collection celebrates timeless Kashmiri craftsmanship through intricate hand embroidery, luxurious fabrics and elegant silhouettes. Rather than following seasonal trends, Ferdous is designed for brides looking for something deeply personal, an heirloom piece that feels as relevant decades from now as it does on the wedding day.”
The Family: “Our embroidered silk saris paired with signature jackets are perfect for mothers of the bride or groom. They strike a balance between elegance and comfort while offering versatility beyond the wedding. Whether worn together or styled separately, these pieces celebrate heritage craftsmanship without feeling overly ornate, making them ideal for multiple occasions long after the celebrations.”
The Bestseller: “Our signature embroidered jackets have become one of Dareaab’s most recognisable pieces. They embody our philosophy of creating garments that are both timeless and versatile. Handcrafted using traditional Kashmiri techniques, including fine Resham embroidery, intricate Zardozi and, in selected pieces, Kalamkari detailing—these jackets can be paired across multiple silhouettes and occasions. They have become wardrobe staples for clients who appreciate craftsmanship and want investment pieces that can be worn and reinterpreted for years to come.”
