A curated exploration of heritage textiles. Discover the intricate weaves, precise embroidery, and luminous finishes that define our collection.

Our Origins

Rooted in Surat.
Built for the World.

Lybytex was founded in Surat — India's textile capital — with a singular focus: manufacturing premium African embroidery fabrics to the highest standard the continent has ever seen from outside its borders.

Our production house combines the precision of modern Surat textile manufacturing with a deep respect for the cultural weight of African dress. Every metre is produced with the understanding that it will become something worn with pride.

White satin Gele with silver mirror inlay and scalloped lace border. A ceremonial fabric built for celebration — the interplay of matte cutwork against the high-sheen base creates a depth that photographs as beautifully as it drapes.

Silver Eyelet Series

Geometric circle cutwork with graduated sizing across the veil — a study in negative space. Each circle is bordered with micro-bead stitching in tonal silver, achieving a texture that is refined under studio light and luminous in natural sun.
