who we are
Wenlin Studio project, founded by Gul in 2019 in London, UK, is a socially conscious brand dedicated to advancing sustainable fashion and textiles. Our mission is to preserve traditional techniques in textile embellishment that are being lost with time. Through our handmade, artisanal approach, we create objects of beauty that promote a more ethical and sustainable fashion industry. We work with artisans and embroiderers and collaborate with their communities worldwide. Our current collection features a range of embroidered pouch bags, contemporary designs with traditional craftsmanship. From Punjab, Pakistan, our hand-embroideries travel to Lisbon, where they are finished and packaged before being distributed globally through online platforms and specialty boutiques.
Design
At Wenlin Studio, we design every motif of our embroideries by hand painting it onto acid free paper. Click here to read more about our design process.
Hand Embroidery
All of Wenlin Studio's sampling and production is done by hand by our women artisans of Punjab, Pakistan.
Natural Dyeing
We are always researching to better our practice. We are using historical natural dyeing recipes to dye and print our textiles.
Sewing
Wenlin Studio’s products are sewn in different places, depending on where the product is going to be shipped. We work with skilled sewers in Lahore, London and Lisbon. We make paper patterns of every silhouette before assembly and sew it using our exclusive line of recycled tape metal zipper designed with YKK.
