Hand Embroidery by Designer Divya Srivastava from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh

Personal Details

Hi! I am Divya Srivastava, a hand embroidery designer. I have completed my Masters in Arts from Gorakhpur.

Hand Embroidery Skills

I was very much interested in embroidery work since childhood. My mother used to do embroidery on various products like sarees, hankies, table covers, etc. I learned this art from her. Later I took a 6-month course to improve my skills. In 2013, I started a boutique to sell hand embroidery products. Now I have a team of different types of embroidery artisans who work on my designs.

Hand Embroidery Craft Process

My team is expert in doing different embroideries like kashmiri, ari work, chain stitch, zardozi, pearl embroidery, etc. We customize the products according to the customers. I use different fabrics like crepe, silk, georgette, chiffon, cotton, and the thread used is cotton, silk, zari, etc.

Specialization

Although all types of embroidery are done in my boutique, my specialization is in making Kashmiri and Zardozi embroidered products.

Experience

I have 7 years of experience in this field.

Future Plans

In future, I want to sell my products all over India. I also want to work with big designers so that I can learn more from them.
