Once a hallmark of royal trousseaux, Gota Patti is experiencing a stylish resurgence. This delicate appliqué technique — where thin metallic ribbons are cut, folded and hand-stitched onto lightweight fabrics — now appears across bridal couture, contemporary sarees, fusion jackets and refined accessories. Under the creative direction of Gaj Singh Bhati at Umaid Couture, Gota has been reimagined to suit modern wearability while preserving artisanal integrity.

What makes Gota so special?

Gota’s appeal lies in its luminous finish and lightweight comfort. Unlike densely worked styles, Gota uses narrow metallic ribbons that create a refined shimmer without adding bulk. Artisans shape motifs — leaves, florals, paisleys and geometric trims — and stitch them onto fabrics like chiffon, georgette, silk and organza. The technique is handcrafted on a wooden frame (adda), producing precision, dimension and a play of light that reads beautifully on camera and in person.

Why Gota is trending in 2025

• Lightweight luxury: Perfect for destination weddings and climate-sensitive events where heavy embroidery can be impractical.
• Artisan authenticity: Consumers increasingly seek handcrafted pieces with stories — each Gota motif reflects an artisan’s skill.
• Versatility: Gota translates well into sarees, lehengas, stoles, jackets and accessories — offering multiple product avenues.
• Modern pairing: Designers pair Gota with minimal silhouettes, pastels, or textured fabrics to keep looks contemporary.

How Umaid Couture is reimagining the craft

At Umaid Couture, Gaj Singh Bhati blends respect for traditional technique with a contemporary eye. Collections focus on balance — delicate Gota motifs on breezy chiffon sarees, finely edged dupattas, and tailored jackets where the metallic appliqué becomes an accent rather than the entirety of the surface. Each handcrafted piece highlights the artisan’s touch while meeting modern finishing standards.
