Anarkali

This ANARKALI is a street you walk into.

The composition is built as a passage — dark stone at the edges, an archway at the centre, light at the far end, creating a lighting illusion on the tee overall. Between them, the trade: carpets over railings, carpets on the ground, hands still working them. The ornamental window above is the only thing not for sale.

Anarkali is the oldest market still standing in Lahore. This is what it looks like from the inside, looking out.

Thread on thread. Carpet on cloth.

Crafted from 250 GSM cotton terry, this tee delivers a heavyweight yet breathable structure designed for everyday wear. The oversized silhouette with drop shoulders creates a relaxed streetwear fit while maintaining a clean, premium drape.

The artwork renders a bazaar in full depth — a bricked archway opening onto light, carpets hung and laid out along the street, figures at work in the shade. The perspective is built as a tunnel: the eye is pulled from the dark foreground through the arch into open daylight. with over 300,000 stitches and roughly 18 hours of embroidery per piece.

To improve comfort, a reinforced internal fusing layer is placed behind the embroidery, reducing irritation and keeping the piece wearable despite the dense stitchwork.
