About Akbar Aslam

The brand has works with top craftsmen who have spent decades perfecting traditional embroidery like zardozi (metallic threadwork), dabka (coiled wire), gota (ribbon appliqué), and hand-applied crystals. Every piece takes hours of skilled handwork. You can see it. You can feel it.
