The Hina: Midnight Navy Zardozi Shirt with Crushed Silk Gharara
The Editor's Note
The Hina is an ode to the mystery of the night sky. Rendered in a deep, inky Midnight Navy, this ensemble strikes a sophisticated balance between structure and fluidity. The straight-cut silk kameez provides a clean, tailored silhouette, which is beautifully offset by the voluminous drama of the Crushed Silk Gharara below. Finished with a luxe silk dupatta trimmed in vintage gold fringe, this look evokes the glamour of 1950s Lahore aristocracy, reimagined for the modern evening soiree.
This is Factory-Direct Luxury. We source the 80g Raw Silk and commission the precise Zardozi craftsmanship directly from the artisan workshops of Mochi Gate. You receive the same heirloom-quality materials and hand-work found in the boutiques of MM Alam Road, but you bypass the designer label markup.
Availability: Custom Order (Ready in 4 weeks Days) with Free Worldwide Shipping to the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
The Artisan's DNA (Technical Specifications)
The Hina is defined by its textural contrast. The shirt is crafted from 80g Pure Raw Silk, acting as a sturdy canvas for the scattered gold Zardozi motifs and the heavy, architectural hemline border. The embellishment utilizes Kora (matte wire) and Dabka (coiled wire) in antique gold tones.
The lower garment features our signature Crushed Silk technique, where pure silk is heat-treated to create permanent, accordion-style pleats that offer incredible movement. The look is completed with a silk dupatta adorned with a retro-style gold fringe border.
Artisan Pledge: Crafted by the family of Ustad Bashir, 3rd generation Zardozi masters, ensuring ethical and authentic production.
- Material: 80g Raw Silk (Shirt), Crushed Silk (Gharara), Pure Silk (Dupatta).
- The Craft: Hand-embellished Zardozi, Kora, Dabka, and Antique Gold Tila work.
- The Components: 3-Piece Set (Embellished Shirt, Crushed Gharara, Fringed Dupatta). Includes matching Potli Pouch.
The "Smart Shopper" Insight
A crushed silk gharara set with this level of hand-tacked gold work typically commands a premium of 200% at designer multi-brand stores. At AÏNN London, we operate on an unbranded, direct-to-consumer model. You are paying for the tangible luxury—the weight of the silk and the hours of the artisan—not for a glossy marketing campaign. This is designer quality without the label.
Stylist's Guide
- Best For: Evening Wedding Receptions, Sangeet Nights, or Formal Dinners.
- Jewelry Pairing: The antique gold work on the Navy base pairs flawlessly with traditional Polki or Jadau sets. A statement Maang Tikka or heavy earrings will balance the sleeveless (or sleeved) silhouette.
- The Fit: The shirt is cut for a straight, classic fit. The gharara has an elasticated waist for comfort and flares out from the knee.
