Why source from Shahjahanpur
Identified under India's One District One Product initiative as Shahjahanpur's flagship handicraft for focused branding, quality upgrade and export promotion.
Sourcing Zari and Zardozi from Uttar Pradesh
Zari and Zardozi is Shahjahanpur's designated One District One Product — India's programme to concentrate skill, infrastructure and branding behind a single flagship line per district. For a sourcing buyer that concentration is the advantage: a deep base of specialised makers, mature local supply of raw materials, and competitive pricing all sitting in one cluster.
Zari and Zardozi is handmade, so expect characterful variation between pieces rather than machine uniformity — that is part of the appeal. Artisan clusters around Shahjahanpur typically accommodate flexible order sizes but need realistic lead times for hand-finishing, plus careful, protective export packing for detailed or fragile work.
Zari and Zardozi comes out of Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, part of the North region's wider export base. MadeFromIndia maps the verified clusters behind it, benchmarks landed cost against rival origins, and handles introductions, sampling and quality oversight so you can move from shortlist to first order with confidence.
