Heritage
The Art of Chikankari
A 400-year-old tradition. A thousand hands. One love.
The Stitch
Six hours. One motif. A lifetime of skill.
From the mughal courts of the 17th century to the lanes of present-day Lucknow, Chikankari has remained almost unchanged — because it cannot be rushed. There are over 32 traditional stitches; a master karigar may only know a dozen well, having spent their whole life learning them.
What you receive is not a garment. It is a quiet inheritance.
