The Art of Quilting
The Heritage of Rajput Quilting
In the royal courts of Mewar, quilted garments were prized for their thermal mastery during crisp desert mornings and their structured, regal posture on horseback. Originating from the traditional Angrakha (protective tunics) and royal court Razai needlework, this artisanal craft required an intimate understanding of textile tension, natural batting, and precise geometric spacing.
House of Bera reinterprets this four-century technique for modern sartorial elegance. We bridge time-honored artisanal methods with contemporary ergonomic tailoring, crafting outerwear that offers lightweight insulation without excess bulk.
Anatomy of a House of Bera Quilted Jacket
Hand-selected high-grade corduroys, structured cotton twills, and rich velvets treated for wind resistance and enduring tactile depth.
Layered with natural, ethically sourced plant-and-wool fibers that regulate body temperature naturally, avoiding synthetic fills.
Lined with lustrous silk-touch fabric bearing the full Illustrated Map of Bera—keeping our history, leopards, and polo fields intimate to the wearer.
The Stages of Construction
Hand-drafted cuts contoured for natural posture, clean shoulder drape, and ease of equestrian movement.
Every diamond rib is measured and guided by hand to ensure geometric alignment across all seams and pockets.
Reinforced grosgrain and suede binding sewn along collars, hems, and cuffs to prevent wear.
Custom-milled antique brass or horn buttons engraved with the House of Bera royal crest.
Slow Tailoring & Limited Editions
True luxury cannot be hurried. A single House of Bera quilted jacket takes up to 18 hours of dedicated handwork by master artisans whose families have practiced needlecraft in Rajasthan for generations.
By crafting in small, numbered editions, we preserve raw material integrity, eliminate industrial waste, and ensure that every garment carries the personal touch of the artisan who shaped it.
A machine creates repetition; a master artisan creates character. Every stitch is a deliberate testament to enduring elegance
