The Hand Embroidery Company's first-ever store dated back to the 1950s, in South Bombay. Back then, under the name of R D Zari Emporium, The Hand Embroidery Company was said to retail only the best saris from all over the country. The founding brothers drew many loyal customers due to his benevolent nature. R D Zari slowly and famously earned its place in the market as a store with supreme quality and services.
It was then in the year 1980, that Suraj’s father decided to take his passion and experience toward something more inspirational. After all, Suraj had spent many years of his childhood watching his father dealing with an opulent variety of garments. In time, he decided to take his in-depth knowledge of material and become a creator of hand embroidered garments only to be known as the country’s top hand embroidery garments manufacturer.
Ever since then, the company took on a new face and its new name: That of Suraj Panjabi and The Hand Embroidery Company. Starting as a beading factory with only 30 artists under its umbrella, today The Hand Embroidery Company supplies exclusively to some of the best fashion houses in the world!
We treat your garment as a second skin, where every little detail is articulated for exclusivity. No one garment is like the other; every stitch sown is glamour imbibed, and that is how we present our work to the world.
We work toward creating professional and specialized hand embroideries for designers, fashion houses, boutiques, and other manufacturing companies across the globe. Today, we professionally house a manufacturing trade, managing over 175 of our artists, complete with a full stitching unit from all across the country, who cater to every kind of Hand Embroidery demand there is in the market.
Famously and relentlessly so, The Hand Embroidery Company’s service ideals have never faltered. Even today as a hand embroidery manufacturer we travel the world, we travel the world to meet fashion designers and clients with our swatches, giving a personalized touch to our business service.
Suraj graduated from Kelly School of Business, Indiana with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration specializing in Finance. After gaining some more experience in the financial markets in India, Suraj decided to join his father in taking forward The Hand Embroidery Company. Today, Suraj's mantra is to completely abolish the 'Minimum Invoice Value' for any order.
This means that even the youngest fashion designer can gain the support of The Hand Embroidery Company to provide services as would be suitable for the designer’s paradigm.
It also helps designers gain some insight into the metropolitan market, and sample out their target audience!
Hello, Everyone!
Welcome to The Hand Embroidery Company’s official website!
Like the name speaks for itself, T.H.E. Co. takes up everything embroidery. The present mission is to support the one-of-a-kind couture creation, to having no minimum order quantities, to achieving huge production orders in with superior quality. In the near future, while fashion embroidery will still be what T.H.E Co. does best, what we envision ourselves expanding into is larger than we can let on right now! But be rest assured, we’re going to be everything “Hand-made” and what fashion designers would look for – globally!
As I always say – and do, we like to take the responsibility of executing a design that hasn’t been done before or, could be ahead of its times in terms of fashion trends – without having the designer take a risk. We understand that it’s the designer’s reputation at stake and would only support them to grow further in the global market.
Personally, I have always enjoyed the trust my clients and customers have placed in me. Most fashion designers wouldn’t want to reveal their supplier information nor would they allow the supplier to take credit. I feel trusted when all my clients know that I am willfully against taking any credit from their customers for the work I do on my clients’/designers’ collections. I am their most trusted manufacturing house, and that is how it will be for those who know me and wish to work with T.H.E. Co.
My vision as CEO is to be able to advise my client on ways and methods that are cost-effective, like mixing materials or playing around with the price. The catch is to be on the same wavelength as my client on their collection so that we can combine our efforts in executing a unique piece and not making art for the sake of making art. At T.H.E.Co., what my clients envision is magnificently transformed into reality, and even better. Having built all services in-house, I often emphasize that I want my clients to feel T.H.E Co. is always on the same page in terms of their mission on every order. I enjoy the scope of creative endeavors that T.H.E Co. brings to my table, and I protect those aspirations with honest business practices as they are and as they will continue to be.
Regards,
Suraj Panjabi
