Soof Embroidery is a traditional counted-thread embroidery practiced by women of the Meghwal community in the Kutch region of Gujarat. It is created by counting the weave of the fabric rather than drawing patterns, resulting in precise geometric designs. The embroidery is usually worked with silk threads on handwoven cotton fabric, often without any mirrors. Soof motifs are inspired by nature, including flowers, buds and abstract forms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textile panel features five large, identical geometric flower medallions arranged in a staggered formation, one central motif flanked symmetrically by two at the top and two at the bottom. Each floral medallion radiates outward from a green cross at its core. From this center, four symmetric, elongated diamond petals extend along the cardinal axes, the vertical petals stitched in yellow and the horizontal ones in bright orange. Intricate, purple micro-geometric soof points accent the diagonals, mimicking smaller buds or delicate foliage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterspersed symmetrically between the large floral motifs are four circular abhlas (glass mirrors). Each mirror is securely bordered by a dense, circular ring of bright green satin stitches and crowned with small yellow geometric points at the four corners, transforming the mirrors into radiant, glowing floral centers of their own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textile displays the signature precision of the Soof style through its tight, flat satin stitching. The multi-directional alignment of the silk threads gives each geometric leaf and petal a smooth, reflective quality that catches the light dynamically. The addition of the circular shisha mirrors introduces a brilliant play of light, providing a sharp, glassy texture that beautifully breaks up the matte texture of the red cotton canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daya Ben","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48987604811990,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Flowers_in_Soof_Embroidery_by_Daya_Ben.png?v=1783588797"},{"product_id":"floral-motif-in-soof-embroidery-by-daya-ben","title":"Floral Motif in Soof Embroidery by Daya Ben","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis lovely Soof embroidery panel by Daya Ben showcases a highly detailed geometric mandala forming a floral crest that radiates outward from a central square nucleus. Soof Embroidery is a traditional counted-thread embroidery practiced by women of the Meghwal community in the Kutch region of Gujarat. It is created by counting the weave of the fabric rather than drawing patterns, resulting in precise geometric designs. The embroidery is usually worked with silk threads on handwoven cotton fabric, often without any mirrors. Soof motifs are inspired by nature, including flowers, buds and abstract forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe composition is built around an ornate central square, extending symmetrically outward along the four cardinal directions. At the absolute center is an intricately layered square module. It features an outer border of dense yellow chain stitching, enclosing miniature triangles and chevrons in deep orange, navy and bright yellow. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSprouting from each of the four sides of the square is a linear stem stitched in brilliant yellow gold. Each stem culminates in an elaborate, stylized floral crest. These crests are built from teal and indigo arrow-like motifs, topped with delicate, radiating pink and green micro-triangles that mimic blossoming petals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoftening the strict geometry are smaller, stylized pink and gold buds that branch out diagonally from the corners of the central square. Framing the entire central emblem are four circular abhlas (glass mirrors) positioned at the outer corners of the canvas. Each mirror is encased in a tight, dark blue embroidered rim, floating against the red backdrop like distant stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textile highlights the Soof school's mastery over surface texture. The incredibly tight satin stitches are worked in varying directions, allowing the silk threads to catch the light and create a distinct sheen that mimics fine ribbon-work. This creates a beautiful tactile contrast between the raised, lustrous silk embroidery, the sharp reflective glass of the mirrors and the soft, matte texture of the red handwoven fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daya Ben","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48987646853334,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Floral_Motif_in_Soof_Embroidery_by_Daya_Ben.png?v=1783589006"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-06-30_at_5.07.39_PM.png?v=1785311077","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/collections\/soof-embroidery.oembed","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
