Kinkhwab brocade is essentially a heavy and gilt form of brocade. It is known for having extensive amounts of zari work which makes the underlying silk fabric invisible under the sheer amount of work done on the fabric. The zari work itself makes for more than fifty percent of the entire surface of the fabric. The word ?kinkhwab? translates into tiny dreams or little dreams which can be interpreted to mean that Kinkhwab is ?the fabric of dreams?. The sheer beauty of this fabric has made it popular as bridal wear.
