About the craft: Pita work is a type of intricate metal embroidery used in Indian textiles and fashion. It involves using metallic threads—often gold or silver—along with sequins, beads, or wire to create elaborate patterns on fabrics like silk, velvet, or chiffon.

Pita work is known for its durability and slightly raised texture, giving garments a luxurious and regal appearance. It is commonly found in bridal wear, heavy sarees, and designer outfits. This embroidery technique is often compared to zardozi but has a more refined and embossed look.

Best suited for: Festive wear, function wear, party wear.
