An abaya built like an heirloom.
Saga is a small-batch abaya house working at the pace embroidery actually takes: patterns draped on the stand rather than drawn flat, so a silhouette is proven on a body before a single thread is cut. Nothing leaves the atelier until the panels sit symmetric to within two millimetres and every seam has passed by hand.
We hold to two disciplines at once — heritage embroidery worked the traditional way, and construction precise enough to survive a two-kilogram pull test on every hand-set mirror and bead. Quiet luxury, checked twice.
Each run is small and numbered on purpose. A garment this hand-worked doesn't scale, and we've chosen not to make it — better a waiting list than a shortcut on the embroidery.
