STORY
Our Story
We revive embroidery and preserve traditional cultural practices.
who we are
Wenlin Studio is a London based company. This project was started in 2017 by Gul & Ubaid. Our focus is on crafting and designing hand-embroidered textile items, blending modern aesthetics with the traditional ways of artisanal workmanship. Our production spans both Pakistan and the UK.
Central to our ethos is the preservation of traditional textile embellishment methods, which are fading due to the mass market realities. Our vision revolves around revitalizing global communities by combining our designs with their crafts, thus generating economic incentive for cultural preservation. Currently our hand embroideries are executed in Punjab, Pakistan, and then finished in London & Lisbon.
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
As we work towards a more ethical and sustainable creative industry, we are reserching to make our textile colors naturally using historical recipes.
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 premium line of recycled tape metal zipper designed with YKK.
