The Couture Edit: Shehla Chatoor

Shehla Chatoor's handcrafted pieces have remained timeless for over two decades

The soul and signature of the Shehla brand has always lain in its time-honoured craftsmanship and the creation of timeless handcrafted pieces that has remained unchanged for over two decades. “For the last two decades Bridal Couture has been a very significant and an integral part of my design house. I have always seen bridals as timeless investments. I view these artisanal pieces like items of jewellery which can be passed on to future generations as heirlooms- Shehla Chatoor”.

Shehla Chatoor’s latest Bridal Collection is an amalgamation of artisanal pieces composed of rich detailed hand embroidery offset by carefully crafted silhouettes. The collection has been painstakingly crafted with hand-spun fabrics including silk and cotton along with velvet, tulle, organza and organdy using a rich and regal colour palette of ivory and gold dovetailed with magenta and plums, silver and champagne, sea-green and soft mint, black with gold, Kashmiri tea-pink and fuchsia, and a plethora of blacks and ivory amalgamations.

The collection is beautifully accented with intricate traditional hand-crafted mirror-work, gota, marori and zardozi detailed motifs and embroideries to further render Shehla Chatoor’s signature ethos.

The bridal collection also includes a presentation of elegant and majestic menswear pieces imbued with old school charm and includes sophisticated waistcoats and sherwanis with stunning intricate old-world embroideries. Chatoor’s bridal capsule is special enough for a bridegroom to don.
