The Art of Bespoke Hand Embroidery: Ranjit R Ahuja’s Timeless Craft

I’m so happy to share this fascinating information about Ranjit Ahuja.  When I was in Mumbai last year, I had the great pleasure of meeting this charming man, and seeing his bespoke hand-embroidery where each piece was as beautiful as the next.  His kindness and charm is only rivaled by his extraordinary craft.  In the course of our conversations, it was apparent his other passion was sailing. He extended us an invitation to the exclusive Bombay Yacht Club for that evening. My friend, Laura Pearce and I could not turn this down.  He introduced us to some of  his fabulously interesting friends.  Ranjit has worked with celebrities and is sought out by New York's top interior designers for their custom projects.

In the world of luxury textiles, true craftsmanship is a rarity—yet Ranjit R Ahuja has mastered the art of bespoke hand embroidery like few others. His creations blend the heritage of age-old techniques with modern sensibilities, offering a timeless elegance that speaks to today’s refined lifestyle.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Ranjit’s work is deeply rooted in hands-on skills and traditional
artistry. His textiles are exclusively hand-embroidered by a select group of artisans who have been with his firm for over two decades. These skilled craftsmen bring intricate designs to life, preserving a heritage of embroidery that is increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world.

Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that even the unseen elements—like the backs of cushions and the finishes on linens—uphold the highest standards of quality. With an unwavering commitment to authenticity, Ranjit embraces the philosophy that “how you do anything is how you do everything.”

A Collection That Marries Tradition with Modern Elegance

Ranjit Ahuja’s home collection is designed for today’s discerning individuals, emphasizing both luxury and usability. His preferred material—pure linen—is carefully sourced from France and Belgium, ensuring the finest quality. The collection features:

Hand-Embroidered Cushions & Pillows – Unlike mass-produced textiles, each pillow is designed and crafted from scratch, incorporating unique embellishments and intricate knot techniques.

Custom Bedspreads & Decorative Accents – Whether hand-embroidered or quilted, these pieces seamlessly integrate with both residential and high-end hospitality spaces.

Table Linens with Timeless Appeal – Generous hems, perfectly mitered corners, and bespoke embroidery elevate each piece, making them a staple in prestigious stores across London, New York, and Paris.

Wall Upholstery for Luxury Interiors – A unique knotted technique pioneered by Ranjit has even found its place in the homes of AD Hall of Fame clients.

The Beauty of Bespoke

Ranjit’s dedication to old-world craftsmanship ensures that every item is a work of art. His hand-embellished creations are not just functional pieces; they are heirlooms in the making. With an openness to custom designs, colors, and sizes, his atelier welcomes those who seek true exclusivity in their interiors.

From luxurious curtains that flow effortlessly in a grand salon to understated yet exquisite table linens that grace the finest dining tables, every piece is a testament to the passion and soul of the artisans behind it.

A Celebration of Timeless Design

In an era where machine-made efficiency often overshadows meticulous handcraft, Ranjit Ahuja’s work stands as a beacon of artistry and dedication. His ability to seamlessly merge heritage techniques with contemporary aesthetics makes his collection a must-have for connoisseurs of fine living.

For those who appreciate the finer details, Ranjit’s bespoke
embroidered textiles offer more than just decor—they tell a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.
