Product Specifications
Why You’ll Love It
The Deep Violet Chikankari Layered Kurti is the definition of "statement ethnic wear." The heavy embroidery on both sides ensures you look impeccable even without a dupatta, while the triple-layered bottom provides a modern, western-inspired "twirl" factor that is rare in traditional Chikankari.
Styling Tip: Pair this voluminous kurti with white cigarette pants or palazzos to let the violet layers pop. Complete the look with silver oxidized jhumkas and embellished juttis for a truly royal ensemble.
Care Instructions
-
Dry Clean Recommended: To preserve the delicate hand-embroidery and the structure of the layers.
-
Ironing: Use a cool iron on the reverse side only to maintain the "shadow" effect of the threadwork.
-
Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in a muslin bag to prevent snagging of the intricate threads.

💙 This handcrafted piece supports women artisans of Lucknow and helps preserve a dying art.
🪡 A Slow, Time-Honoured Process
Chikankari begins with hand-printed designs and continues through weeks of careful hand embroidery. This process cannot be rushed — every stitch requires patience, precision, and skill.
🧵 Handcrafted by Women Artisans of Lucknow
Each piece is embroidered entirely by hand by women artisans in Lucknow, many of whom have learned this craft over generations. Their work provides sustainable livelihoods and keeps this heritage alive.
⏳ Why Authentic Chikankari Takes Time
A single garment involves thousands of hand stitches and can take days to weeks to complete. This time investment is a key reason genuine handcrafted pieces cost more than mass-produced alternatives.
⚙️ Why Chikankari Is Becoming a Dying Craft
With the rise of machine embroidery and faster production methods, hand Chikankari is increasingly being replaced by cheaper imitations. Machines reduce cost and time, but they also remove the individuality, softness, and soul of the craft. As demand for fast fashion grows, fewer artisans are able to continue this labour-intensive work.
✨ Why Handcrafted Is Better
Hand embroidery creates finer detailing, softer textures, and subtle variations that machines cannot replicate. Each handcrafted piece is unique, more durable, and made with care — not speed.
🌿 Your Purchase Makes a Difference
Choosing handcrafted Chikankari helps preserve a centuries-old art form, supports women artisans, and encourages ethical, slow fashion over mass production.
