Embroidered and Crocheted Goods Manufacturers in India
India has many living embroidery traditions, from chikankari in Lucknow and phulkari in Punjab to mirror work in Gujarat and Kashmiri embroidery, plus hand crochet lace from Narsapur in Andhra Pradesh.
We help home textile and fashion brands source embroidered and crocheted goods, and plan for the time and consistency that hand work requires.

MOQ and lead-time considerations
Machine embroidery scales quickly. Hand embroidery and crochet need more time because each piece is handmade; large orders are spread across artisan groups. Agree acceptable variation in hand work in advance.

Compliance and ethical sourcing
Textile labelling
Fibre composition labels under EU Regulation 1007/2011, UK and US textile labelling rules.REACH and UK REACH
Restricted-substance limits (for example azo dyes, nickel, lead, cadmium) apply depending on material; test reports come from accredited labs.Home-based work
Hand work is often done at home; we check how producer groups pay and manage artisans and avoid child labour.Packaging and export logistics
Finished pieces are pressed, folded with tissue and packed in polybags and cartons to avoid creasing and soiling. Crochet items are packed flat to keep their shape.

International buyer questions
Is the embroidery done by hand or machine?
Both are available. Machine embroidery suits repeatable volume; hand embroidery and crochet suit premium, textured products.
How long does hand crochet take?
Longer than machine work. We plan large orders across several artisan groups and agree timelines up front.
Can you match our thread colours?
Yes, against your colour standard, with approval of a strike-off.
How do you check ethical conditions in hand work?
We review producer groups, payment practices and audits, and visit centres where possible.
