Products & Kits

I've never done embroidery. Can I still use your kits?

100%. Every kit is designed for absolute beginners β€” no experience needed. You get pre-printed fabric, colour-sorted threads, needles, a bamboo hoop, and step-by-step video tutorials you can pause, rewind, and re-watch as many times as you like. If you can hold a needle, you can do this.

What's included in a Ritual Kit?

Every kit contains:

  • Pre-printed premium cotton fabric with a Sujni motif
  • DMC-grade embroidery threads (hand-sorted, colour-matched)
  • Bamboo embroidery hoop (doubles as a frame for display)
  • Embroidery needles + threader
  • Printed stitch guide
  • Lifetime access to video tutorials
  • Gift-box packaging with a handwritten note card

How long does it take to complete a kit?

Most kits take 4–8 hours spread over a few sittings. Our customers love doing an hour a day β€” it becomes a calming, screen-free evening ritual. The Beginner Kit is the quickest (3–4 hours); the Peacock and Sacred kits are more detailed (6–8 hours).

What is Sujni embroidery?

Sujni is a 400-year-old needlework tradition from Bihar, India. It began when women would stitch layers of old saris together into quilts, adding intricate running-stitch patterns that told stories β€” of harvests, festivals, daily life. Today, it's recognised as a living heritage craft, practised by artisan women across villages in the Bhusura and Muzaffarpur regions.

What's the difference between your kits and your Heritage Collection?

Our Ritual Kits are DIY β€” you stitch them yourself with guided tutorials. The Heritage Collection (cushion covers, wall hangings, tote bags, bed runners) is finished dΓ©cor, handcrafted entirely by our artisan partners. Both use authentic Sujni techniques.

Are the materials ethically sourced?

Yes. All fabrics are natural-fibre cotton. Threads are DMC-grade and AZO-free. Hoops are sustainably harvested bamboo. Packaging is recycled kraft. We pay every artisan above fair-wage benchmarks and credit them by name.

Gifting

Are your kits gift-ready?

Every Aurilio order arrives gift-wrapped at no extra cost β€” premium kraft box, tissue paper, ribbon seal, and a blank note card for your personal message. No additional wrapping needed.

Can I add a personalised message?

Yes. During checkout, you'll see a "Gift message" field. Write your note and we'll hand-write it on the included card. For bulk or corporate orders, reach us on WhatsApp for custom options.

Can I return a kit I've already opened?

How do I care for my finished embroidery?

Spot-clean gently with a damp cloth. For framed pieces, keep out of direct sunlight to preserve thread colour. Our bamboo hoops are finished with a natural sealant β€” no additional treatment needed.
