Lost City Products
Lost City Products is a New York City based design house specializing in hand-embroidered fabrics and other products like scarves, handbags, re-furbished antique chairs and pillows.
==History==
Based on information available on its (website ) and (Facebook ) page, Lost City Products was created in 2005, by fashion designer Afshan Durrani, a Fashion Institute of Technology, New York alumna, to revive the ancient art of hand-embroidery, particularly techniques that were developed centuries ago under the patronage of the Mughal Kings in India, and popularized by European clients. Afshan Durrani has ties to both Lucknow, home of chikan, aari, zardozi, kamdani and mirror work, and Srinagar, Kashmir, the leading center for crewel embroidery.
It seems, however, that Lost City Products was creating custom embroideries for the likes of celebrity architect Peter Marino and high-end interior designers before 2005. One of the most exclusive hotel suites in the world- the Ty Warner Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, designed by Peter Marino, is furnished with chairs custom embroidered by Lost City over a six-month period, and many designers of prestigious private homes such as the Koch residence in New York have been using Lost City Products as a hand-embroidery resource for sophisticated designs.
Judging from the beauty and diversity of styles and fabrics available on its website, Lost City Products might be one of the leading exponents of hand-embroidery anywhere in the world, particularly of the “aari” (chain-stitch) technique that originates in the city of Lucknow, India. Short videos and slide shows on the Lost City Products website demonstrate the arduous process of creating yardage of hand-embroidered fabric from start to finish.
