Embroidered Patches for Clothes – Iron-On & Sew-On
Embroidery patches are the quickest way to add detail to a garment without stitching a design from scratch. This collection brings together ready made embroidered patches for clothes, bags and accessories: thread-embroidered animals, florals, zardosi motifs, 3D designs and appliques, in sizes from tiny accents to large back-panel pieces. Often called embroidered badges or an embroidered badge patch, each design is made with fine thread work for a premium, high quality finish. Buy embroidery patches and embroidered badges online, with embroidered patches for sale as single pieces for designers and DIY projects, and in bulk for boutiques and manufacturers.
Embroidery patch designs
- Animal embroidery patches: the multicolor lion, 3D tiger and large tiger face, a wolf and a cute cat, for jackets, denim and kids' wear.
- Floral and nature designs: embroidered roses, 3D cherry blossoms and an embroidered butterfly. For a wider choice, see our flower patches.
- Zardosi patches: zardozi embroidery patches worked in metallic thread, such as the Lion and Bee Zardosi Patch and the Heraldic Keys Patch. Buy zardosi patches online for sherwanis, jackets and festive wear; each zardosi patch adds a rich, traditional finish.
- Cool, cute and vintage styles: statement pieces like the Samurai and Geisha patch, playful bears and bunnies, and vintage crest designs. These aesthetic embroidered patches are unique embroidered patches that stand out on plain garments.
Types of embroidered patches
- Sew-on patches: sew embroidered patches by hand or machine for the most secure hold, best for bags, jackets and garments washed often. See our sew patches.
- Iron-on (heat transfer / hot-fix) patches: iron embroidery patches and heat embroidery patches bond with a household iron, ideal for t-shirts, denim and quick customisation. See our iron-on patches.
- Embroidered appliques: embroidered applique patches with shaped, cut edges, used by designers on necklines, yokes and dresses. Applique embroidery patches blend into the garment more than a framed badge does.
- 3D embroidered patches: raised, dimensional thread work such as the 3D Tiger and 3D Embroidered EV patches.
Sizes: from tiny to giant
Small embroidered patches, including mini embroidered patches and tiny embroidered patches, work as accents on collars, cuffs, pockets and caps. A large embroidered patch or big embroidered patches suit jacket backs, bags and kurta panels; for giant embroidered patches, see our large patches collection. Every product lists its size, so measure the area before ordering.
Where to use embroidery patches
Embroidery patches for suits and lehengas add detail to festive wear, while designer embroidery patches for kurtis work on the yoke, sleeves and hem. Use embroidery patches for saree borders and pallus, blouse embroidery patches on the back neck, and embroidered patches for dresses at the neckline or waist.
Casual wear works just as well. Embroidered patches for jackets can turn a plain denim jacket into an embroidered patch jacket, and embroidery patches for jeans suit pockets and knees. There are embroidered patches for shirts too, plus designs for an embroidered patch t shirt or embroidered patch sweatshirt. Embroidery patches for bags, totes and backpacks are best sewn on. For men's wear, animal, crest and zardosi designs suit jackets, shirts and kurtas.

Embroidery patch FAQs
What are the types of embroidered patches?
The main types are sew-on patches, iron-on (heat transfer) patches, embroidered appliques and 3D embroidered patches. Each product lists which method it supports.
Are these ready made embroidered patches?
Yes. All our patches are pre made embroidered patches, ready to sew or iron on. We do not make custom or logo patches.
Should I choose iron-on or sew-on?
Iron-on is faster and suits t-shirts and denim. Sew-on holds better on bags, jackets and anything washed often. Many designs can be used either way.
Do embroidery patches stay on after washing?
Sew-on patches are the most durable. For iron-on patches, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat in the dryer.
Do you have embroidery patches for men?
Yes. Animal, crest and zardosi designs work well on men's jackets, shirts and kurtas.
