Weave Of Lucknow

Born in the timeless lanes of Lucknow, Chikankari is a delicate hand embroidery tradition shaped by patience, grace, and generations of skilled hands. Each motif is created stitch by stitch, often taking days to complete, reflecting a quiet devotion to beauty and craft.

Today, this gentle art is slowly fading as machine-made imitations replace authentic handwork. While machines replicate patterns, they cannot replicate the soul of Chikankari, nor the countless hours of intricate effort poured into every piece. As mass production rises, many artisans are left undervalued, their meticulous work no longer paid for the care it deserves.

Every authentic Chikankari garment you choose helps keep this fragile tradition alive—supporting the artisans whose hands bring softness, heritage, and humanity into every stitch.
