These unique Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Here those same techniques are used to great effect in producing fine Christmas ornaments. There are a limited number of such skilled artisans today who can create these challenging pieces. Tinker Tailor under the leadership of the very talented designer Caroline Apfel has raised the bar on embroidered Christmas ornaments. Her aim is to make the most mesmerising hand made decorations and accessories in the world. She fuses together a luxury blend of culture and experiences from London to India. We are delighted to offer a collection of her fine ornaments featuring designs of British history and icons.
