Kasuti - Alaap | 100% Mulmul Khadi | Limited Edition

Alaap hand embroidered Kasuti pocket square crafted in 100% Mulmul Khadi, featuring peacock and geometric forms articulated through cobalt blue, emerald green and vermilion red threadwork. Resting within the pocket of an ivory ceremonial jacket, the composition draws attention to the flowing structure of counted Kasuti embroidery, the translucent softness of handwoven khadi, and the understated dialogue between Indian formalwear and living craft traditions under museum-toned illumination.

A hand embroidered Kasuti pocket square executed on lightweight 100% Mulmul Khadi through the traditional Murgi embroidery technique of Karnataka. Deep indigo, softened sky blue, and muted coral threadwork form peacock and geometric motifs arranged through counted repetition along the cloth border.

The textile is completed with hand-crocheted edging that quietly anchors the composition, while gentle weave undulations and subtle thread variation continue to reveal the slowness of manual embroidery. The surrounding field of Mulmul Khadi remains open around the embroidery, maintaining a spacious visual rhythm between embroidered form and open khadi surface.

Kasuti is a counted-thread embroidery tradition associated with the regions of present-day Karnataka. The practice is recognised through geometric precision achieved by counting the warp and weft threads of the fabric rather than relying on printed guides or traced outlines. Motifs frequently draw upon architecture, flora, fauna and symbolic forms observed within everyday life.

Characterised by disciplined stitch structures and balanced compositions, Kasuti is distinguished by its emphasis on symmetry, counting accuracy and reversibility of execution. The tradition is particularly valued for the precision with which patterns are built directly through counted thread relationships, requiring careful planning and meticulous stitch placement.

The embroideries presented here are contemporary hand-embroidered works executed by artisan practitioners associated with the living tradition of Kasuti embroidery and adapted for garments and accessories developed by The House of Rule Zero. They are created as original works and should not be understood as historical reproductions, ceremonial objects or documentary recreations of traditional Kasuti textiles.

Product imagery is captured under natural lighting conditions to represent the object as faithfully as possible. Variations in ambient light, photographic interpretation, device displays and screen settings may result in slight differences between the colour shown online and the actual product.

Hand-painted pigments and embroidery threads may also appear differently under changing light conditions owing to the nature of the materials and fibres used in their creation.

Each piece is individually hand embroidered and may contain subtle variations in stitch direction, thread tension, motif execution and surface texture. These characteristics arise through the embroidery process and form part of the individuality of the object. They should not be considered defects.

Certain images may be digitally rendered to illustrate styling, context, scale or garment presentation. While every effort is made to faithfully represent the artwork, construction and character of the object, minor differences in colour, texture, drape or appearance may exist between rendered imagery and the physical product.

Clients seeking further examination of the object may request additional photographs of the garment and its handcrafted details.
