Frequently asked questions

Where is Handworks & Embroidery by Alka located?

Our studio is located in Thriprayar, Thrissur, Kerala, India. We take orders in person at the studio and over WhatsApp, and we deliver finished hand work anywhere in India.

Do you take bulk orders from boutiques and tailor shops?

Yes. We are a B2B hand work studio and we regularly supply boutiques and tailor shops across Thrissur, Kochi and the rest of Kerala. We also make display samples for shop counters. Send us your design list on WhatsApp for a rate quotation.

What is the price of a hand work blouse design?

Custom hand work blouse designs start at about ₹450 per blouse for simple thread work and go up to ₹1,500 and above for heavy bridal Aari work with zari, sequins and stones. The final rate depends on design density, fabric and the number of blouses in the order.

How long does a hand work blouse order take?

Simple thread work and bead work takes about 4 to 7 days. Medium Aari and maggam work takes 7 to 15 days. Heavy bridal Aari work takes 15 to 25 days. Rush orders can sometimes be taken with an advance, so ask us on WhatsApp.

Can you make a design from a photo I send on WhatsApp?

Yes. Send a reference photo from Pinterest or Instagram on WhatsApp and we will redraw the pattern to fit your blouse size and fabric, then send you the final design for approval before stitching starts.

Which fabrics do you work on?

We hand embroider on silk, raw silk, georgette, chanderi, tussar, cotton, organza and net. For bridal and heavy Aari work, silk and georgette are the most common choices.

Is hand work more expensive than machine embroidery?

Hand embroidery costs more than machine embroidery because every stitch is done by hand, but it lasts far longer, can be repaired and reworked, and looks far richer on sarees, lehengas and bridal blouses. For boutique customers we often recommend hand work on display samples and machine work on bulk orders.

Do you deliver outside Kerala?

Yes. We ship finished blouses and saree fall and pico pieces across India by courier, and we share progress photos on WhatsApp so you can check the work before it ships.
