At evomk.com, we’re all about fusion magic: sustainable fabrics meet artisan hands.

Meet the makers the unsung heroes stitching stories into every thread.
The Artisans: Hands That Weave Heritage
Behind evomk’s kurtas are 50+ artisans from Rajasthan’s villages, where embroidery’s been family lore for generations. Take Raju Auntie, 62, who’s hand-stitched for 40 years. “Each motif tells a tale,” she shares over chai. We partner with self-help groups, empowering women a nod to UN Women’s data showing artisan collectives boost incomes by 30%. Our team trains in Chikankari and Zardozi, ensuring ethical vibes. No mass machines here; it’s slow fashion that lasts.
Sourcing Threads of Sustainability
Fabrics? Organic cotton or Chanderi silk from ethical farms breathable for humid fests, per textile experts at IIT Delhi. We dye with natural indigo or madder root, cutting chemical waste by 70% (as per GOTS standards). Priya’s kurta? Sourced from Gujarat co-ops, its softness screams quality without guilt.
Step-by-Step: From Sketch to Splendor
Crafting starts with sketches by our designer duo, inspired by Mughal gardens. Patterns transfer via hand-stenciling no lasers. Then, the embroidery magic: Raju uses Aari needles for intricate vines, taking 8-10 hours per piece. “It’s meditative,” she says. We layer threads – silk for shine, cotton for hold then wash in herbal solutions to set colors. Final press? Steam only, preserving drape. This handcrafted process? 20% pricier than factory stuff, but 80% more durable, per a Craft Council study.
Zardozi Twists: Modern Meets Mughal
Our signature? Zardozi borders with a fusion twist metallic threads on asymmetrical hems. Experts like Sabyasachi nod to this revival: “Artisanal embroidery keeps ethnic alive.” One kurta took 15 hours for a bridal sample; the bride wore it thrice still flawless.
