Patience meets perfection, and every thread tells a story.

Chikan embroidery is a meticulous hand embroidery technique worked onto fabrics like muslin, silk, chiffon, organza and net. Traditionally fine white thread on pastel muslin and cotton, it has evolved to include colored and silk threads. Lucknow, the epicentre of the industry, is known for its own variety — Lucknawi chikan.

In recent years, chikan work has taken on further embellishment — Mukaish, Kamdani, badla, sequins, beads and mirror work. It's worked on cotton, semi-Georgette, pure Georgette, crepe, chiffon, silk and other lightweight fabrics; anything too thick or rigid resists the needle.

The process begins with pattern blocks used to block-print the design onto fabric. Skilled embroiderers then hand-stitch each pattern. Once complete, the piece is washed to remove all trace of the printed pattern, then finished by hand to a flawless result.
