Today we survive in the mechanized world. Everything that is produced, has to be made faster and in volumes. In textile production there is a lot of demand in export houses for the continuous repeat geometrical patterns, preferably in embroidered products as these patterns add depth, volume and ornamentation to the fabric. This design software is boon to textile world as it has taken the digital embroidery to the superior heights and enhanced the production with an extra aid to designing geometric repeats.

This buying house produces and design products for various export houses exclusively designed and made with Wilcom Software. The products made by the company include myriad designs inspired by Mughal Jaali patterns. The products consist of dress material, laces, apparels and costumes. The designs are created on regular patterns based on Mughal Jaalis as well as are customized as per the requirements of customers and export houses.
