The Shanzay: Soft Blue Intricate Maxi on Pure Net, Silk with Resham Work
The Editor's Note
The Shanzay Maxi is the definition of understated opulence, designed for celebratory events like a Nikkah, Engagement, or elevated Party wear. Drenched in a rich, jewel-toned Emerald Green, the pure silk fabrication provides a naturally luminous sheen and elegant Drape. The classic Maxi silhouette allows for fluid movement, while the intricate tone-on-tone Resham and metallic embellishments create an aura of sophisticated luxury. This is a heirloom-quality piece that champions comfort without sacrificing regal presence.
Factory Direct Value: Experience authentic Zardozi craftsmanship and luxury Pure Silk, guaranteeing designer quality without the label. Available in the featured Emerald Green or 35 Custom Colors, all backed by Free Worldwide Shipping to the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
Sourced direct from the loom and the elite Mochi Gate ateliers, the Shanzay Maxi showcases the masterful layering of metallic Kora and Dabka with delicate, color-matched Resham threads. This refined hand-work—requiring an estimated 150 hours of meticulous hand-embellishment—is structurally identical to pieces commissioned by Lahore’s top couturiers. By operating our unbranded luxury model, we ensure clients in the UK, USA, and Australia receive this heirloom-quality artistry at superior value, bypassing the designer markup. We offer this Ready to Ship Pakistani garment with transparency and speed.
The Artisan's DNA (Technical Specifications)
The Shanzay ensemble is crafted entirely from Pure Silk (Maxi and Trousers), chosen for its fine finish, durability, and natural Drape. The hand-embellishment is an intricate blend of techniques: dimensional Kora and Dabka wire work provides the metallic structure, softened and filled by fine Resham (silk thread) embroidery. This is accented by carefully placed Stones and Beads for light reflection. The Maxi features a full-length, flowing cut that drapes elegantly without requiring a Cancan. The 3-yard Silk Dupatta is bordered with similar artistry to ensure continuity and luxury.
Material: Pure Silk (Maxi, Trousers, Dupatta).
The Craft: Hand-Embroidered Kora, Dabka, Resham, Stones, Beads, and Zardozi techniques.
The Components: Full-Length Maxi, Trousers, 3-Yard Silk Dupatta, and matching Embellished Pouch.
Artisan Pledge: Crafted by the family of Ustad Bashir, 3rd generation Zardozi masters, ensuring ethical and authentic production.
The "Smart Shopper" Insight
The Pure Silk used in the Shanzay Maxi is the same caliber 80g Raw Silk and net equivalent material utilized by the most celebrated names in Lahore couture. By adopting the AÏNN London Factory-Direct model, we eliminate the immense costs associated with designer branding and advertising. You receive true unbranded luxury—identical materials, identical heirloom-quality craftsmanship—ensuring designer quality without the label, and a price point often half the price of the designer version.
