About the Craft
Chikankari is an age-old needlework technique that finds its heart in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. This delicate art form involves meticulous hand-stitching on fine fabrics, a process that has been passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each motif is born from a deep-rooted tradition of storytelling through thread, where every stitch tells a tale of patience and precision. By wearing this kurti, you carry a piece of Lucknow’s cultural legacy, supporting a craft that celebrates the human touch over machine-made uniformity.
Speciality
The true speciality of this kurti lies in the mesmerising interplay of light and texture created by the embroidery. The fine detailing is achieved through a masterful combination of shadow work, openwork and embossed stitches. Unlike mass-produced garments, the hand-embroidered patterns provide a unique depth that machine work simply cannot replicate. The use of red thread against the crisp white cotton creates a striking contrast, making the intricate floral motifs stand out beautifully.
How to Care?
To maintain the integrity of the hand-embroidery and the softness of the cotton, a normal wash is recommended. It is best to wash the garment in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh brushes on the embroidered areas to prevent the threads from pulling. Drying the kurti in the shade will help preserve the vibrancy of the thread work and the whiteness of the fabric for years to come.
This Handcrafted Chikankari Short Kurti is more than just a garment; it is a timeless addition to any wardrobe. It brings together classic embroidery techniques and contemporary silhouettes, making it a versatile staple for casual wear. By choosing this handcrafted piece, you embrace a lifestyle of conscious fashion and timeless artistry.
