Our Story
Wenlin Studio is a socially conscious project dedicated to preserving and advancing traditional textile embellishment practices through a sustainable and contemporary approach
About Us
Founded by Gul in London and now based at Startup Barreiro in Portugal, Wenlin Studio is a heritage textile design practice. The studio takes inspiration from traditional Indus textile techniques, such as Gindi, Phulkari embroidery, and ancient Ajrak natural dyeing for contemporary design. The studio creates embroidery kits and works with artisans in Punjab and Sindh, Pakistan to create embroidered pouches with handwoven fabrics from Kamalia. Each collection focuses on preserving traditional crafts while ensuring fair support for the artisans who practice them. Products are finished, packaged, and shipped from Lisbon, Portugal.
Embroidery Kits
At Wenlin Studio, we design and create embroidery kits inspired by heritage embroideries of the Indus region. The kits can be made into heirloom pieces and displayed as artworks.
