Traditional Silk Kurta & Shawl Designs
Budget: $2 – $8 CAD
I am developing a new men’s line that pairs classic silk kurtas with coordinating shawls. The collection must stay firmly in the Traditional aesthetic yet feel refined enough for today’s discerning buyer.
What I need from you
• Original surface and garment designs for at least three silk kurtas and their matching shawls.
• Detailed placement guides for Zardozi, Chikankari and Mirror work so my artisans can replicate the look without guesswork.
• Fabric layout files (vector or high-resolution layered PSD/AI) that a mill can send straight to sampling, plus clear colour references.
• Notes on stitch counts, thread types and any finishing techniques recommended for pure silk.
Key design parameters
– Style: Traditional only; no fusion or contemporary twists.
– Base fabric: 100 % silk (mulberry or equivalent).
– Embellishments: Zardozi, Chikankari, Mirror work—please work all three into your concepts, either together or as separate design stories.
– Shawls should echo the kurta motifs, not simply repeat them.
Submission & approval
I will review initial concept boards first; once signed off, you can proceed to final technical packs. All files must be print-ready and formatted for both digital viewing and factory production.
If you have a portfolio showcasing traditional Indian menswear or intricate embroidery mapping, include the link when you respond so I can quickly gauge fit.
