Schiffli Clothing for Women in India

Schiffli clothing refers to garments made with machine-embroidered schiffli fabric — a technique that creates delicate, lace-like embroidery patterns on cotton, voile, or georgette. The result is clothing that looks intricate and considered without being heavy or difficult to wear.

At Haus of Handmade, we use schiffli fabric across several of our core styles: shirts, tops, and capes. Each piece is made in small batches, which means we can control fabric quality closely and ensure the embroidery finishes are properly done. Schiffli embroidery from lower-quality sources tends to fray or pill quickly — good schiffli, from well-finished fabric, holds its look through regular washing.

Why Schiffli Works for Indian Wardrobes

The combination of breathable base fabrics and surface embroidery makes schiffli clothing practical for Indian weather. It looks like occasion wear but wears like everyday clothing. A schiffli cotton top handles an Indian summer better than most synthetic alternatives while still looking polished enough for an office or a lunch out.

Our Schiffli Pieces

We carry schiffli work in tops, shirts, and capes. Our schiffli pieces are available in cotton and cotton-blend bases in muted and neutral tones that work across contexts — office, casual, and semi-formal. Small batch production means limited availability on individual styles.
