At Fobou, we are passionate about showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry behind the unique products created by our talented makers. One of our highlights this season is the beautiful caftans from Batin, adorned with intricate Aari Chain Stitch embroidery—a traditional Indian technique that’s as timeless as it is stunning.
What is Aari Chain Stitch Embroidery?
The Aari Chain Stitch, rooted in India’s rich textile heritage, is a centuries-old embroidery technique that uses a hooked needle, often referred to as an "Aari" needle, to create fine, chain-like stitches. This method allows artisans to craft highly detailed and elaborate patterns, ranging from floral motifs to geometric designs.
The craft demands immense skill and precision, as the hooked needle is carefully maneuvered through the fabric, looping threads to form the intricate patterns that define this style. Traditionally, Aari embroidery has been used to embellish everything from wedding sarees to luxurious home décor items, making it synonymous with elegance and sophistication.

Batin’s caftans embody the beauty and versatility of Aari Chain Stitch embroidery. Each piece is handmade with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the dedication and expertise of artisans who have mastered this traditional craft.
