Royal Heritage
From Mughal courts to modern Pakistani fashion, the Farshi Shalwar represents centuries of cultural elegance.
Mughal Origins
Born in the lavish courts of the Mughal Empire, this magnificent garment was exclusively worn by queens, princesses, and noble ladies. The name "farshi" literally means "of the floor," referring to its dramatic floor-sweeping silhouette.
Punjab Legacy
The tradition flourished in the Punjab regions of Pakistan and India, where local artisans developed distinctive embroidery techniques using real gold and silver threads, creating pieces that required 9-15 yards of the finest silk.
Modern Revival
Led by Pakistani fashion influencer Sadaf Kanwal, the Farshi Shalwar experienced a spectacular comeback in 2025, becoming the must-have Eid outfit that connected modern women to their royal heritage.
